It is only the first inning and Heyward makes a fantastic catch. The guy is just doing it in every aspect on the field and I couldn't be happier. Of course the graphic points point Jason has 5 gold gloves up to this point, something easy to forget with all of his hitting woes.
And just like that, the Angels get multiple hits and take a 3-0 lead. Much like hits were contagious for the Cubs the other night, hits are contagious for the Halos and the Cubs are incapable of getting anyone out until Javy turns two to end the hurt. Hendricks is a contact-type pitcher but the Halos were hitting em where they ain't this inning.
Does anyone in the MLB have more entertaining hits than Javy. Ball low, just throw your bat at it!
Javy gets another weirdo hit driving in a run and keeping the third inning alive.
The Cubs continue to chip away, eventually getting another run back in the 5th and then onto the bullpen. Yes Hendricks looked better than his other terrible starts but that is like saying Darvish looks better. He does but does he look great?
Brach loads the bases and is bailed out by Schwarber on a great play in the outfield but he walks Pujols to have the Angels up by 2.
Rosario walks a hitter, Angels up 3.
Webster gets a groundout, inning over. Yeesh. When the wheels fall off they fall off with this Pen.
The Cubs though kept scrapping. Looking down the barrel of another loss they kept dinking and plinking and got the score back to 6-5 in the 9th with Schwarber up and 2 outs. Schwarber worked the count to 3-2 and then there was a weird did he/didn't he on a check swing and that was it, Cubbies lose.
Even though its another loss, I am impressed by the fight in these Cubs. We might have a season yet.
