Scherholtz showed unexpected patience in drawing a leadoff walk to start the Fourth. Nice piece of hitting by Castillo to double on the hit and run. The Cubs have a chance for a big inning, although they have the bottom of the order coming up - and I mean the bottom pretty literally with Barney out of the lineup.
Valbuena has a terrible at-bat, strikes out without seeing a hitable strike. Lillibridge completely overmatched again. These guys strike out way to much. Eight of the last nine outs for the Cubs are strikeouts. Maybe they can do some damage next inning when their major league hitters come up.
Samardzija has settled in well. Starting to get a lot of easy grounders. 63 pitches to Burnett's 75. Now or never for Cubs to break out in the fifth.
