Lester gave up 1 ER in 6 innings of Game One of the NLCS but came away with a no-decision in a game the Cubs would go on to win 8-4. The Dodgers are 23-125 (.184) against him. Hernandez is 3-12 with a HR.
Maeda went 4 innings and gave up 3 ER to the Cubs in NLCS matchup against Lester but didn’t factor in the decision. He was on the mound for Bryant’s RBI scoring Folwer in the 1st, Baez's RBI double of Heyward (after his triple) in the 2nd, and Baez's steal of home. Good times.
It’ll be a fully rested Kershaw vs a fully armed and operational Hendricks at Wrigley on Saturday.
Go Cubs!
