Edwards has been terrible in high leverage situations his entire career, and Joe won't stop using him. This isn't just about 6 innings.

Pretty sure that's not right. I recall him being pretty dominant as a late inning reliever a few years ago. He had two great years, then had issues with walks. He's still young and still has excellent stuff. Those guys don't grow on trees, even these days.

Baez just took seven straight balls over two at-bats. Can't imagine that's ever happened before. And he walks again.

Another hit and the Cubs have the bases loaded with one out in the 8th.  The wheels have really come off for the Nats today.

Complete meltdown by the Nationals in the 8th.

And now another wheel comes off as an infield chopper leaves Rendon with no play, and when they try to trap Baez in a rundown, Turner throws it away and another run scores.

Career ERA in the 8th inning (presumably higher leverage on balance than the rest of the innings he's pitched): 5.29. Career ERA in all other innings: 1.43

Based on Fangraphs low/medium/high leverage numbers:

Career FIP: Low leverage: 2.95; medium leverage: 2.90; high leverage: 5.46
Career K:BB: Low leverage: 3.03; medium leverage: 2.46; high leverage: 1.55
Career ER (Fangraphs doesn't calculate an ERA for some reason): Low leverage: 12 ER in 68 1/3 IP; medium leverage: 21 ER in 67 2/3 IP; high leverage: 27 ER in 28 2/3 IP

If you told most of us that Edwards would face zero batters in today's game...

Bryant isn't hitting the way he was earlier this year.  I wonder if his back is still bothering him.

Contreras piles on with an opposite-field homer that just clears the wall.  It's 14-4 now; save some for tomorrow!
