This one, I am sure, you had fairly high confidence in the Cubs’ chances, what with Clay Holmes on the mound. Holmes had an ERA of 0.36 over his last four starts and had been solid all year between the Mets and Cubs rotations.
Welp. Holmes not only had his worst start as a Cub, it was the worst of his entire career, allowing eight runs in 4.1 innings. Despite Pete Crow-Armstrong smashing his 40th home run of the season, the game wound up a blowout, 10-3 in favor of the Marlins.
