Basically, picture yourself building a tower of cards or popsicle sticks only for someone to come and take away the foundation right as you're about to finish the job. The Cubs bullpen gave up five runs over the final two innings, losing the game. And Mason Miller, one of the best closers in baseball, allowed a run in a scoreless game to give the Pirates a win.
