It was a terrible night at Wrigley Field for the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night as they lost to the Houston Astros 4-0. The shutout was the second time in the last three days that the Astros shutout the Cubs offense and went onto win. It seemed like that Astros had no problems sweeping the Cubbies in the three game series.

Ryan Dempster pitched seven innings but gave up a two run home run and a rbi single to take the loss and fall to 15-6 on th season. Dempster just didn’t get any run support as the Cubs offense continues to slump.

The Cubs were very impatient at the plate against Astros starting pitcher Randy Wolf as they struck out eight times and only took two walks in the game. They were up there swinging early in the count and did not have good success. I hope that the offday on Thursday lets the hitters clear their minds and they come back out on Friday and really hit the ball hard in Cincinnati.
