The Cubs celebrated the Blackhawks’ Stanley Cup win but were unable to pick up a win of their own on Tuesday night. Carlos Santana hit a three-run homer and an RBI double and Francisco Lindor notched his first Major League RBI to lead the Indians to a 6-0 Interleague victory over the Cubs in front of 35,914 at Wrigley Field.
Trevor Bauer scattered four hits over seven innings for the win, while Jake Arrieta took the loss, issuing a season-high six walks. It’s the fifth time the Cubs have been shut out this season.
“Any time you go out and put up zeros, things are going pretty well,” Indians manager Terry Francona said of Bauer. “He got himself into a bind in the third — bases loaded and had a full count — and he reached back and got a big out there. Other than that, it looked like he got stronger as he went. It’s pretty impressive.”
Before the game, the Blackhawks paraded around Wrigley Field with the Stanley Cup, which they won Monday night by beating the Lightning in six games. The Cubs and Indians had been scheduled to play Monday but that game was postponed until Aug. 24 because of rain. The Cubs now are 2-6 after an off-day.
