Kyle was lifted after seven innings and 76 pitches and he had thrown more in all three of his previous starts this year, so I thought maybe David Ross would leave him in to try to finish. Clearly, on a warm day like this one, Hendricks was on his game. I don’t know the answer, but I think I will research this when I have time. I have previously wondered whether cold weather affects Kyle. The only two hits he allowed were bloopy little things that landed where no fielders were in left field. He was getting weak contact, and even with the wind blowing out, there were only six outfield outs recorded in his seven innings. While all this was going on, Kyle Hendricks was vintage Professor. But today was like a true Wrigley experience."- Jordan Bastian April 23, 2022 I think a lot of people were appreciative of kind of the first day of spring/summer, right? In a lot of ways. Nico Hoerner: "A game that got out of hand, but pretty much a packed stadium for the last out. How to sum up this game? I’m just going to show you all 21 runs, in order, rather than go through a game narrative. It’s now +19, which currently stands as sixth-best in MLB (pending some games coming later tonight). The Cubs’ run differential this year entering Saturday was -1. Houston (22 runs), and the 21-run margin of victory was the Cubs largest since Jat the Boston Braves (22-run margin, 24-2 win). Lastly, the 21 runs scored by the Cubs were the most they had scored at Wrigley Field since Jvs. The 21 runs scored by the Cubs were their most since they scored 26 on Augat Colorado and their 23 hits were the most by a Cubs team since Apat Arizona (also 23). They had a previous 19-0 shutout Jat the New York Giants. This was the Cubs’ largest shutout since at Wrigley Field against the Padres. August 31, 2004, Cleveland Indians 22, New York Yankees 0Īnd so, the two big shutouts by the Cubs and Pirates, now one apiece, are the only games in National League history with that big a shutout score.August 13, 1939, New York Yankees 21, Philadelphia Athletics 0.September 15, 1901, Detroit Tigers 21, Cleveland Blues 0.That was just the fifth game in the modern era (post-1900) won by shutout with that large a margin. Saturday afternoon, on a gloriously beautiful 73-degree April day at Wrigley in front of a full house of 39,917, the Cubs nearly got exact revenge for that long-ago loss, coming within one run with a franchise-record 21-0 shutout of the Pirates. Just 4,932 attended that late-September game in another lost season. To this day (tied once), that’s the largest shutout in MLB history. More than 47 years ago, on September 16, 1975, the Pirates shut out the Cubs 22-0 at Wrigley Field.
