Rizzo has another huge day, and Bryant goes deep again.

Cubs blow leads of 7-1 and 10-5 as Rondon blows the save in the 9th, but they got it done anyway.

5 in a row.

Really need to beef up the middle relief though.

We'll take what we can get.

Rizzo reminds me of Jeff Bagwell

Great thing is the rotation is flipped back to the top. If Jon and Jake do their job it will be 7

Exactly. Lester and Arietta going at home over the weekend is a very good thing.

Loving this team if the pitching can come around.

Pretty surprised to see Lester at even money at home today. Cole's been good but Lester's been better of late.

Our bullpen is gassed so need 7 strong out of Lester, but if we get that, I like our chances.

Did wood lose his starting gig?

6 straight for the Cubbies. 4 straight wins for Lester.

Got the 7 strong we needed out of him.

I hadn't heard them talk about it at all and I was surprised to see him come out of the pen.

Don't know if he lost his job or if Maddon is just shuffling the deck temporarily. And it might not even be so much that he lost it, just that we need more help in the pen right now so that's where he's most needed.

How many runners did the pirates strand today?

Didn't watch the game but seemed like every time I checked my phone they had 2 on with less than 2 outs. Check again 10 minutes later and still only 1 run. Repeat every inning

Lots of base runners, but Lester was able to make pitches when he had to. Pirates had 2nd and 3rd no outs in the 8th and struck out 3 straight times.

This was a large wager for me. #LetsGo
