Alex Wood wasn’t at his best, but probably deserved a lot better through his five innings of work. He got himself in and out of trouble in the second and third innings, and while the Cubs got baserunners in each of Wood’s five innings, they failed to score until the fifth.
The fifth started poorly, as Ben Zobrist lined a single to right and Yasiel Puig tried to do a little too much with it, misplaying the ball and allowing Zobrist to reach third. Jason Heyward followed that up with a weakly hit infield single to score Zobrist, and Heyward later scored on an Anthony Rizzo RBI double.
