PITTSBURGH – It looked as if Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks was going to escape the second inning with the score tied. He’d induced Rowdy Tellez to pop up to the left side of the field with two runners in scoring position.
It wasn’t to be. Third baseman Isaac Paredes was traveling straight back. Shortstop Dansby Swanson, shaded up the middle against a left-handed hitter, had a lot of ground to cover but was dashing toward the ball all the same.
