No one puts baby in a corner. But with a 6-1 victory, the Los Angeles Dodgers put the Chicago Cubs in a 3-0 NLCS ninety-degree angle of compromised positioning. Truth be told bluntly-so, the Cubbies look to be hibernating.
Darvish surrendered a solo dinger to Kyle Schwarber, the second Second-City'er he faced. Then did not allow another to make third base. It's like dating in high-school all over-again, gentlepersons! He finished his outing with seven strike-outs; most importantly lasting 'nuff to avoid having to over-use the bull-pen. Quite contraire, Chicago's Kyle Hendricks forked-over a pair of solo home-runs, culminating in four runs tallied over five-plus innings. The final two runs came courtesy of Joe Maddon’s rickety eighth-stanza bull-pen.
