ARLINGTON, Texas — With Yu Darvish clearly struggling to find his command, a couple of Cubs pitchers got up in the bullpen and caused just about everybody to do a double take.
Steve Cishek and Jose Quintana were getting loose for the Cubs, with Cishek entering the game to get the final out for Darvish in the third inning of Saturday's ballgame. It was the earliest Cishek had ever appeared in a game in his big-league career (503 appearances).
Then it was Quintana, the Cubs' fifth starter, who came out of the bullpen to serve as the long-relief guy for Joe Maddon.
