Key to Lilly's success - Don't score any runs for him.

[UMFan83]

Lilly almost gave up a HR again.

 

Devon White flew out to the warning track?

How does this guy throw nothing but sliders that really don't look all that nasty and nobody can hit them? Weird.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

No runs, but 33 pitches for Litsch.

 

We'll get to him before all is said and done. We just need Lilly to continue to shut them down.

I'm hoping that the second time through the lineup will be able to make better contact.

It makes for easy pickings for Reed Johnson when he goes out to the bars later?
