LOS ANGELES – From center field, Cubs rookie Pete Crow-Armstrong willed reliever Porter Hodge to throw another fastball.
With the Cubs leading 6-3 in the ninth inning, Hodge had pitched to a full count against the Dodgers’ Max Muncy – even after needing an injury delay midway through the at-bat as his heart rate elevated beyond what felt normal. But manager Craig Counsell said after that game that Hodge told him he’d felt something similar before and it would pass.
