Rizzo smacks a double past Soto into the corner, and Baez is called out on a low pitch that missed the strike zone.

Duffy up with one out.  Let's get this insurance run in.

A hit from Heyward brings Rizzo in.  7-3.

9X tonight Boog has added a g to Starlin's name.  It's annoying.

Nance in to make his major league debut.  He's wearing the very normal looking number 45.

And he gets his first big-league strikeout.  He'll be hanging on to that ball!

Two more outs.

That was an impressive debut for Nance.

Grounder to third and the Cubs win.  Welcome to the majors, Tommy Nance.

If Nance can continue to throw strikes, maybe he’ll be a factor. Seems to have the heat and the breaking ball.

Well, it’s one inning.

But, interesting that Ross used him in that situation. Reports from Iowa must have been good.

30 year-old rookie. Awesome for him.

Nance through 3224 rpm curve. His breaking balls averaged 2959 rpm today. 

Dude might be what everyone wants Maples to be.

Nance appearance today made him the 19993rd major league of all time. 7 away from 20k.

The Cubs should fill that in this season, all by themselves.

Minor point, but Baseball Reference says 19,992nd.  Do you have a conflicting source?

I don't know if you're doing a bit, but I find that highly doubtful.
