Rizzo Runs

Rich Hill throws a ton of pick offs to first base to try to keep Anthony Rizzo close. The announcers wondered why, since Rizzo is not a threat to run. After a few pitches, when Hill goes to the plate, Rizzo takes off and steals second. Hill then walks Jorge Soler, his second walk of the inning, and the Cubs have runners at first and second with one out in the second inning. There’s no score.

Update: A passed ball puts runners on second and third.

Update: Addison Russell strikes out. Two down.

Update: Miguel Montero grounds out to end the inning. The Cubs let a potential big inning go to wastes. No score in the middle of the second inning.
