Gamel K.

Now Ryan vs. Cain and Yelich...these don't seem like great match ups for the Cubs.

Cain grounder, 2 outs.

Ryan has gotten ahead 0-2 to all three hitters he's faced. I'd be shocked if that wasn't the first time a Cubs pitcher has done that this year.

Either Caratini is doing a great job framing some of these pitches tonight, or this umpire has been pretty bad. That 2-1 pitch to Yelich was not close to a strike.

Yelich walk. 2 on, 2 out, and Webster is coming in.

Braun homer, 7-5. Unbelievable.

Aguilar flies out.

Need to get a couple runs back here. Heyward/Caratini/Zobrist due; Heyward and Caratini have done a lot of damage tonight.

HEYWARD!  2 homer night, 3 in 2 days. 8-5 Cubs.

Caratini single. Bottom of the lineup is killing it tonight.

Zobrist single. Two on for the top of the lineup...but the top of the lineup is 0 for 11 tonight.

Descalso walk. Bases loaded, no outs. A huge 10 run inning would be nice.

Maybe Caratini catching and Willy in left against righties is an answer? Of course, then you have to play the Schwarbler in right...


Caratini seems to clearly be a better receiver than Contreras. Low bar of course.

Bryant K on four pitches. Fourth K of the night. Not great.

This has to be Heyward's best night as a Cub, right? 3 for 3, 2 HR, 1 BB, 2 SB.

Still very early and very small sample size...but Bryant still looks like second half Bryant so far.

This umpire is missing a ton of pitches on the first base side of the plate. It's happening for both teams.

A nice bit of symmetry after that Braun HR - now both Ryan and Webster have 27.0 ERAs.
