The Cubs got shutout in game four of the National League Division Series but will have a good chance to win game five Thursday if they keep up the consistent starting pitching and get the bats going.
Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg tossed a gem as he went seven shutout innings while striking out twelve in his team’s 5-0 win over the Cubs.
Strasburg has been dominant against the Cubs in this series and has pitched 14 innings, recording 22 strikeouts while allowing just six hits and no earned runs, but Strasburg can’t pitch every game, and the Cubs need to take advantage.
