I know it has everything to do with how effective they are as pitchers at this stage of their careers but it’s amazing how Jon Lester is basically guaranteed to give up first innings runs and Hendricks almost always goes 1-2-3.
To be fair, this is what the Cubs do. Remember that time they were up like nine runs against the Mets in the fifth inning and had to hang on for dear life? Interesting that you choose that game when you could have simply referenced yesterday, lol.
