Sunday’s game took an odd turn. Kyle Hendricks had been rolling right along and the game looked like it might be a blow out. Then the bottom dropped out on Hendricks and things got tense. I imagine that I’m not the only one who was around for the good part but was watching HBO while the bad was happening. Fortunately, the Cubs held on for another 6-5 win.
There’s that score again. 6-5 in a Cubs game. That’s not a particularly common score. Yet the Cubs have had seven of their first 44 games end with that score.
