Chicago 365 Playoff Central: A Bullpen Game

     Going into Game 2 of the NLDS, the Cubs had already taken an early lead thanks to Jon Lester's Dominant performance and Javier Baez's timely home run. After the introductions, the game began. Jeff Samardzija was coming back to pitch against his former team, and let's just say that things didn't go so well for the Shark. Right away in the 1st inning, the Cubs got a run on the board. After a scoreless bottom of the inning by Kyle Hendricks, the Cubs jumped on the Shark again for 3 more runs. After a few more innings, the Cubs had to make their first change. Hendricks got hit in the arm by a ball. He is okay, but the change was necessary. He was replaced by Travis Wood, who then became the first relief pitcher since 1924 to hit a postseason home run. The Cubs wound up riding a combination of Mike Montgomery, Carl Edwards Jr., and Aroldis Chapman to secure the win. Cubs play the Giants tonight, and are now 1 win away from advancing. Let's go Cubbies!
