Jason Heyward was scratched from tonight's lineup due to right hamstring cramping.

Megill again.  Maples languishes.

Rucker had to come in to save Maples in the ninth and the Cubs couldn't rally; Reds win 4-3.

15 minutes before first pitch and maybe 3000 people inside Historic Wrigley Field

Mills with a good game.  Just a HR to Votto. 
Wick pitched 7th-8th, his second consecutive 2-inning outing.  Heuer pitches the 9th, 1-2-3 inning. 

Given how limited our rotation guys are, I think the idea of extending some guys to be able to throw 2-inning outings could be helpful.

Heuer, six-up-six-down in the 9th and 10th.  Leadoff-runner-on-2nd never advanced even a base.  Heuer covered the two innings with only 19 pitches.

Cubs win, Cubs win, Cubs win!  Heyward hits a long no-outs HR.  10th inning, Conterars started at 2nd; Wisdom singled hard, but Contreras stopped at 3rd.  Wisdom immediately stole 2nd uncontested. 

Rather than walk Heyward to set up the bases-loaded force, which of course we'd expect them to do, they pitched to Heyward.  Why?  Dumb managing. 

The other funny thing is that Cinci is right in the playoff mix... and in an extra-inning game, they bring in ex-Cub Brad Brach.  Tough deal for them when Brach is their best choice in a situation like this.

Even though Heyward's days are numbered, I feel happy for him tonight.  That must've felt damn good.

Still two full years left after this, so not that small a number....
