Chicago Cubs reliever Ryan Pressly was humbled in front of the fans at Wrigley Field. The 36-year-old closer, who was supposed to be their answer in the ninth inning, found himself lit up like a Christmas tree against the San Francisco Giants.

Their run-scoring has slowed against an onslaught of top pitchers, but the Cubs are still winning and still having fun.

The Cubs are close to getting their ace back. Shota Imanaga tossed two innings in a rehab start at the Arizona Complex League on Monday night.
