DYK: Hendricks enters record books in Game 2

Here are some other notable facts and figures from Saturday's game.

• Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks became the first pitcher to start a postseason game batting eighth. The only other pitcher to start in a lineup spot higher than ninth was Babe Ruth, who hit sixth for the Red Sox in Game 4 of the 1918 World Series against the Cubs. Ruth smacked a two-run triple that day, pitched eight-plus innings for the win and finished up in left field.

• With his run-scoring bunt in the second, Hendricks became the ninth Cubs pitcher to pick up a postseason RBI, and the first since Kerry Wood homered in Game 7 of the 2003 NLCS.
