With the regular season coming to a close, the Chicago Cubs (100-56) continued to keep things rolling with a huge win in Pittsburgh. Not to mention, they tallied their 100th win of the year which is something they haven’t done since 1935.
While their bats were driving in runs by the minute (figuratively), right-hander Kyle Hendricks (16-8, 1.99 ERA) turned in another gem. Prior to taking the bump, Hendricks was 2-1 in the month of September. And lowered his earned-run average in the process.
Kyle held the Pirates (77-79) to seven hits, zero walks, and five strikeouts in six scoreless innings.
