Cubs to go with Kyle Hendricks for NLDS-deciding Game 5
The Chicago Cubs will go with Kyle Hendricks as their starter for Thursday's Game 5 with the Nationals undecided as their National League Division Series returns to Washington for the deciding game.
Washington manager Dusty Baker said he would go with either Gio Gonzalez or Tanner Roark, with Max Scherzer lurking in the bullpen.
"We're not sure yet," Baker said. "So we're trying to -- we're going to make up our mind, see the condition of everybody and like I said, I'm not sure. I'm not trying to be coy at all because that was the theme of the day, you know, with Stras. You know, whoever it is, I hope they pitch like Stras did today."
