MILWAUKEE — Consistency has eluded third baseman Matt Shaw in his rookie season, which was to be expected from an inexperienced player.
But with the Cubs playing Game 1 of the National League Division -Series against the Brewers on Saturday, they’ll need Shaw to contribute offensively to lengthen the lineup. Shaw is 0-for-7 in the playoffs and struck out three times in the Game 3 clincher against the Padres. He said he learned how to control his emotions during the wild-card series.
“Similar to the [regular season], you’re learning every time you come out,” Shaw said Friday.
