Kenta Maeda tried to help his own cause as the hits a seeing eye single between third and short with two on and two out in the second inning. Adrian Gonzalez tries to score from second base, but Ben Zobrist‘s throw nails the slow first baseman at the plate, and the Cubs maintain their 1-0 lead. The Cubs defense is more than great range.

The replay showed that Gonzalez stepped back toward second when Maeda swung.
