The Chicago Cubs ended a dissapointing three game series with the Washington Nationals on Sunday with a 2-0 loss.  There were only eight hits in the entire game for both the Cubs and the Nationals, but the Nationals made sure that two of them scored runs.

Ted Lilly didn’t pitch too badly, but did allow two earned runs in his six innings of action.  Lilly gave up four hits and two runs while striking out seven batters.  Lilly dropped to 1-4 on the season with the loss.

Once again, the Cubs left a ton of men on base on the game.  This time it was 18 runners that were left on base as the offense struggled getting some hits.

The Cubs do have an off day on Monday so hopefully they will recoup and get back on track Tuesday when they open up a series against the Milwaukee Brewers.  Another early series with the Brewers where the Cubs can pick up some big divisional wins.
