Pedro Strop was charged with five runs in the ninth Monday and took a loss to the Brewers. It wasn't all Strop's fault -- a fielder's choice was mixed in and two of the runs came around to score after he departed -- but it was definitely his first bad day as a Cub after 10 2/3 scoreless innings to start his tenure with the team. Unless he compounds with another poor performance next time out, it shouldn't have any effect on his status as the closer-in-waiting.
