Had a chance to take in a really good tight game, although, to be honest, even though the final score was 3-2, it never looked as if the Cubs were in danger of losing. Hammel pitched quite well for six innings. Strop pitched better than his line looks. He actually threw five outs in 2/3 of an inning, botching up an easy double play and accidentally deflecting another sure DP that turned into a run-scoring hit. Strop did manage to strike out Ichiro, denying him a bid to inch closer to the 3,000 hit mark. Rondon came on to pitch a tricky but scoreless eighth inning, and Chapman came on for the save. The picture above shows Ichiro just before he struck out and the one below shows the final out of the game.
