Walrond in to pitch for CUBS

Berroa - F7, 2 down

Pena - K

 

mid 7, 5-4 PECOTA

 

In his defense, two infield singles and a grounder to short (that should have been an out) along with 2 doubles and a walk.

 

The two infield singles were solid hits, whoever was playing 1B for the Cubs saved a double on the second one, the grounder to SS was the only questionable play.

[TruffleShuffle]

i really do like hart. i'm surprised that more minor league coaches don't teach the cut fastball; hart's career was going nowhere fast until he learned it, and he's taken off since then.

[manbearcub]

Bloop triple by Ronny ties it up. Winning run on third 1 out!

Nice to see Cedeno end up just a HR short of the cycle.

[Bote McBoteface]

I came into the thread late - don't understand why the Royals are being referred to as PECOTA.
