The Cubs, I suppose, were entitled to one stinker and this was it. They were completely stymied by the Rockies pitching more or less all day and they could not seem to catch or throw anything cleanly themselves. Hendricks pitched a pretty good game. The Rockies game plan was to take his outside change-ups and plop them over the infield, which they did consistently. Anyway, .800 is not a bad start.
Previously the Cubs completely dominated the Reds in the final two games of the series to gain the sweep. The Cubs activated Javier Baez after the game. It will be interesting to see how he fares this year, especially playing new positions. Arrieta and Lester finish off the series, so the Cubs have a pretty good chance to return to winning ways over the weekend.
