Cubs suffering from Paulino/Morton Syndrome

Felipe Paulino held the Cubs to one run over eight innings last night to earn the victory in the Astros’ 3-1 win. It was Paulino’s first win of the season after seven defeats.

Paulino doesn’t lead the National League in losses; he’s only tied for third. The current loss leader is the Pirates’ Charlie Morton, who has dropped nine decisions against just one win…which he collected in his sixth start of the season…back on May 5th…in Pittsburgh…against the Cubs.

It’s been that kind of year.
