Mark Leiter Jr. gave up four eighth-innings runs as the Chicago Cubs bullpen blew another late lead in a 7-6 loss to the Cardinals on Saturday in St. Louis.
The Cardinals’ Alec Burleson, left, scores past Cubs catcher Miguel Amaya during the eighth inning on May 25, 2024, in St. Louis.
Another blown lead from the Cubs bullpen proved to be the difference, as Mark Leiter Jr. gave up four runs on four singles in the eighth inning to turn a one-run lead into a three-run deficit. But Paul Goldschmidt’s error at first led to the go-ahead run in the seventh. Goldschmidt allowed Michael Busch to reach with one out by dropping an easy toss that was in his glove for a second and came out during a scooping motion. After a review challenge confirmed the call, Dansby Swanson walked and Patrick Wisdom followed with a go-ahead RBI double.
