With the Chicago Cubs facing an elimination game in Game 4 of the NLDS on Thursday night against the Milwaukee Brewers, Craig Counsell turned to Matthew Boyd to save the season. While Boyd was an All-Star in his first season with the Cubs, starting him on Thursday had some risk, considering how he struggled in Game 1 of the series last Saturday. It was an outing where Boyd didn't even make it out of the first inning, giving up 6 runs (2 earned) on 4 hits. With the season on line, Boyd made sure Game 4 was his revenge game.
