Louis Varland took his first blown save of the year after giving up a two-run homer to the Cubs’ Alex Bregman on Thursday.

Varland gave up a 108-mph single to Pete Crow-Armstrong to start the ninth and then a 100-mph fly to Seiya Suzuki that proved to be an out with the wind blowing in at Wrigley. With two outs, he gave up another 100-mph fly, but this one was hit a little lower and down into the left field corner for a 368-foot homer. Varland has allowed six runs — three earned — in his last three appearances. He’d allowed 11 runs — six earned — in 50 appearances previously.
