So when Merryweather experienced his worst outing in two months during the ninth inning Thursday night, minutes after the Cubs pulled within a run after a three-run eighth, it represented a death knell. He surrendered multiple runs in an outing for the first time since July 19 on top of a two-walk game, which last occurred before the All-Star break.
