It's pretty clear that the Chicago Cubs have bullpen problems. For the third-straight trip, sooner Carlos Marmol fought in aid and the Cubbies dropped a, 6-5, to the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field. Despite leading 5-1 going in to the last two innings, the Cubs bullpen imploded to offer this one away. The failure culminated in home runs off the bats of B.J. and Justin Upton in the underside of the ninth. Facing the inning to be led off by Marmol, B.J. Presented a shot to tie the overall game before Justin's long ball gave the Braves the walk-off victory two batters later. The game-winner was Justin's 2nd home run of the night and capped a, three-RBI performance for the younger Upton brother. It was the very first time this season the friends have gone deep in the same sport, but considering both of these power, it's likely that this could happen more than a few times because the season progresses. For the Cubs, Marmol wasn't the sole reliever at fault in this 1. Western importance Kyuji Fujikawa was just like bad in his one inning of workout of the bullpen, letting three runs on four visits in the eighth inning. Fujikawa and marmol helped waste a solid getaway from beginning Carlos Villanueva, who lasted 6.2 innings and allowed only 1 work in his begin of the summer season. Braves' starter Julio Teheran was spared losing despite letting five works and ten visits in five innings of work.
