Pitchers hit, heart-of-the-order doesn't; no matter for Cubs

It was a weird win for the Chicago Cubs, a game in which their pitchers hit, but some of their best hitters didn’t.

Here’s a recap on some of the most interesting and unusual numbers to come from Game 2 of the National League Division Series.

Hendricks gets a big hit

Kyle Hendricks didn’t get the win, but he had a highly impactful hit, on a night an injury forced him to leave before he completed five innings for the first time all season.

Hendricks had two RBIs in 58 regular-season at-bats, but he got two on one swing with the bases loaded in boosting the Cubs’ lead in the second inning.
