I was on pins and needles waiting for Game 3 of the NLCS, because while Game 2’s win was amazing, it was also highly necessary with Clayton Kershaw on the mound. A victory today would really give the Dodgers an actual advantage in the series, and they managed to get just that, going up 2-1 in the NLCS with a 6-0 shutout victory of the Cubs.
Despite my constant worrying, the game would’ve been quite stress-free if it were just a normal contest, but nothing really is at this point.
Rich Hill actually struggled a bit early, and in the second inning he issued two walks, gave up a stolen base, and had a passed ball advance runners thanks to a mix up in signs with catcher Yasmani Grandal.
