DYK: Hendricks enters record books in Game 2
10/10/15: Kyle Hendricks pitches 4 2/3 innings in Game 2, striking out seven against the CardinalsHere 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.
