Cubs' Dexter Fowler: On base twice in Saturday loss

Fowler went 1-for-3 with a walk in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Astros.

Analysis:

The veteran leadoff man joined Willson Contreras as the only two Cubs players to reach base more than once on a day when a combination of Colin McHugh and the Astros bullpen stymied their offense. Despite the modest success Saturday, Fowler's bat has gone cold so far in September, with just five hits in 31 at-bats, including an 0-for-18 stretch earlier in the month.
