Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell was unimpressed with a rookie's at-bats against the Los Angeles Dodgers during the Tokyo Series.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs were chosen to represent MLB and the United States in the Tokyo Series not only because they feature some of the best players to come out of Japan, but also because they are two of the most historic franchises in the history of the sport.

The Chicago Cubs lost both games of the Tokyo Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers to open the season. Their big offseason saw them add Kyle Tucker and Ryan Pressly, Chicago fell flat in their first two games.
