Cubs with another shutout win, 2-0.  Correa's 9th-inning stuff looked, excellent, but his fastball was way off.  His change/breaker was actually more strikes-oriented. 

Leeper pitched the 8th, gave up a hit and some contact, and got behind in several counts.  Didn't look as fast or electric as Correa, although his fastball seemed to have good carry.  Seemed his misses were by an inch or two, not by a foot or three.  Had a little pitch that sunk just a little, threw a couple that looked pretty good and I thought could be called strikes, but were called balls.  Looked like it could be a useful pitch, though. 

Sutcliffe made some reference to Cody Heuer, I wasn't entirely clear but it was coaches watching film, in which context he alluded to Codi Heuer throwing 96 with great command.  I'm kinda assuming he was referring to 2023, and that Heuer is doing some mound work and side-sessions, and is looking sharp? 

Would be fun if he comes back strong and effective.
