The weather outside was frightful. And, for a while, so was the Cubs’ bullpen.
But in the end, the Cubs hung on Wednesday night for a 9-8 win over the Rockies, their fourth straight victory.
It rained — and snowed — most of the day in Chicago and the start of the game was delayed 19 minutes. Luke Little, who had finished off Tuesday’s win, got the call as the opener for this one and dispatched the Rockies 1-2-3 on only 14 pitches.
About Little’s outing (tweet from Tuesday evening):
If Luke Little starts tomorrow, he'll be the first #Cubs pitcher to finish one game and start the next day's game since Warren Hacker on May 2, 1955.
