If there was one pitch that Kyle Hendricks wanted back, it was the one blasted over the Green Monster in the bottom of the first inning by Hanley Ramirez. Willson Contreras set up outside, but the ball floated to the middle of the strike zone and Ramirez made it look like a batting practice pitch. Kyle Hendricks ended up pitching six quality innings of two-run, three-hit ball.
The Cubs cut the Red Sox two run lead in half when Kris Bryant pounded a ball into the left center field stands, over the green monster, for his second home run in the series.
