Dozier and Redon have probably saved 3-4 runs with their defensive play today.

Russell now playing shortstop after Baez rolled his ankle earlier. Hope this is mostly precaution in a 5 run game with Hendricks on the mound.

Hendricks walks Turner on 4 pitches to start the bottom of the 6th.

Rendon is so good. If the Cubs decide to actually do something next offseason, they really should be in on him.

Hendricks fell apart fast. Tying run up.

Hendricks can't get the ball down in the zone.  Seemed to be an issue last inning, but he was getting away with it.

Not so much this inning.

Yeah. Rendon is good enough to move Bryant off third base.

They may have had a double play prior to Rendon, but Hendricks got enough glove on it to slow it down and prevent any outs.

Curt broke Hendricks in about 12 hours.

The Cubs issues going forward isn’t the offense, but Rendon is good.

Don't know if that was an exceptional play by Russell or if the Cubs just had him positioned in the right place...but Statcast has the hit probability of that Rendon ball at .970.
