Bryant with a good AB but just missed last pitch, pops it up.  2-0 mid-5.  Took a bunch of pitches for Anderson, he's at 81 pitches now.  So may not be around that much longer.

Wow, nice quick 1-2-3 inning for Q.  Nice to follow up a run-scoring inning with a no-drama 1-2-3.  He's at only 69 pitches, so night possibly even pitch into the 7th inning?

I've got another. The 1-5 w/ RISP today improve their season average!

Cain singles with one out, Q pitches around Sanata and walks him.
Braun kills one to right, Heyward almost drops it, but holds it.  must have lost it in the lights or something.

Big K for Quintana. Hope he gets the 7th. Some runs would be nice too.

Slow curve, Aguilar chases and K's, still 2-0 after 6.

Caratini bloops a single into right, Heyward pops to left and SS makes nice diving grab but drops it on hitting the grass.  So Heyward is up over .200! Q is done, Maddon going with La Stella. 

Good move, chance to score a run, use one of our best hitters, and pitcher is a hard fastball guy, so La Stella is a good matchup.

La Stella kills a hard rocket to 1st base, right at him but it eats him up.  Run scores, 2nd-3rd one out.  Charge an error, good 1B a ball hit that super hard would have been an easy DP if fielded cleanly.  Nothing soft about that contact.

Almora fails to score guy from 3rd.  Whiffs on a ball off the plate; fouled off two strikes that seemed pretty hittable.

The Cubs have to start cashing in more of these runners at third with less than two outs.

Bryant K's on 3 pitches, 3rd strike called, didn't look like a strike to me.  So, I suppose if La Stella's ball is not a hit, that was 3 guys who didn't get a hit with RISP.  Still, huge run to score.  3-0. 

Williams looks very fast and pretty promising for milwaukee.

Was consistently spotting 97 low, outside corner to righties.  Pretty tough.
