Last year at this time, Chicago Cubs fans gathered to watch their team square off against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League Wild Card game. This year, however, the Cubs and their fans had the luxury of waiting and watching to see who they would face in the Divisional Series.
Just as we all suspected, it was a pitchers’ duel at Citi Field. The hard-throwing Noah Syndergaard tossed seven scoreless innings to go with 10 strikeouts on the night.
Equally impressive was Madison Bumgarner, who pitched a complete game shutout en route to a 3-0 win over the Mets.
