Record numbers lead to game to forget for Chicago

The Dogs ended up on the wrong side of the record books on Saturday night, falling victim to a 20-5 loss to the Lake Country DockHounds. The 20 runs allowed by Dogs pitching is the most in a single game in franchise history, dating back to the 2018 season.

Steven Lacey, who has been reliable all season long, struggled in his start, giving up six runs. Cameron Smith, Cade Connolly and Nick DeCarlo all tried to stop the bleeding in their relief outings, but none were successful.

Smith allowed two runs, Connolly five and DeCarlo four. The one positive from a pitching standpoint was the lack of walks allowed, totaling five. The bullpen only allowed two of those five and has shown better signs of control at this point in the season
