The NLDS game between the Cubs and the Nationals is a true pitchers’ duel between Kyle Hendricks and Stephen Strasburg. Chicago does not get its first hit until 2 are out in the top of the 6th, by Kris Bryant, but it scores Javier Baez who had reached on an error by 3B Anthony Rendon. Bryant takes second on the throw from the outfield and scores on Anthony Rizzo’s single, and those two unearned runs are all Chicago needs, as they go on to win 3 – 0 and Washington only manages 2 hits.
