Regardless of whether the final play was called correctly or not, the Bucs were not going to win with 0 runs. Of course they were facing an excellent pitcher. But they usually look just as hapless against bad pitchers. And when it came to the BPs, the Cubs first went with Leiter with an ERA of 1.00....

Cutch goes deep. 9-0.

It sure is nice to see.

Skenes gets his 11th K at 100 MPH on his 100th pitch.

Cubs get their first base runner on a walk after ump missed strike 3.

8-0! 2 hits each for Grandal, Tellez and Triolo. Even a hit for Suwinski! Is this a sign of the apocalypse?

Cubs had a Piratey inning! 5-0!
