Raise your hands. How many of you are now on board with me for the universal DH?
Pedro Strop, who was left in to bat in the 10th inning because Joe Maddon wanted him to finish the game after Javier Baez had bunted in the lead run, appeared to injure his left hamstring trying to beat a relay throw to first base.
The Cubs won the game 4-3 in 10 hard-fought innings over the Nationals, but the happy flight home will be tempered a bit by the possible injury to Strop, who’s done an excellent job as closer.
