If the Cubs get that call at second base in the 9th, who knows how this one goes. Nico Hoerner stole second base after reaching to open the inning, but he overslid and was tagged out. On review, though, it looks pretty clear that Gunnar Henderson had his foot down, blocking Hoerner’s path to the base, before he had the baseball. Alas.
David Peterson gave up a lot of LOUD contact in this one, and was clearly battling his command all day. But he did get a decent number of groundballs, and managed to give the Cubs five innings of one-run ball. You’ll take that any time he goes out there, even if he has to lean on the defense and some batted ball luck.
The problem, of course, is that the bullpen is in tatters. It’s not really anyone’s fault, but they are so beset by injuries that it’s just asking too much for them to cover three or four innings every night. The bats have to do a TON to make that approach work, and today, they did not.
At least the Cubs won the series. Sweeps are great, but with the bullpen as it is, sometimes a game is going to slip away. Given how the Orioles were clubbing the ball all game and not getting a lot of results, it’s hard for me to be too angry about the outcome here.
The Ankin Law: “Making it Personal” Player of the Game is Seiya Suzuki, who tried his darnedest to carry the offense by himself.
