Should Clayton Kershaw's gem spark Cubs' lineup shakeup?
playAlex Cora breaks down the struggles of the Cubs' offense after Chicago's loss in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series. (1:14)CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs had one moment -- just one -- Sunday night against all-world pitcher Clayton Kershaw in Game 2 of the NLCS.
Four right-handed batters made good contact against the Los Angeles Dodgers ace in the fifth inning, though only two reached via base hits -- the Cubs' first of the game. Down 1-0, would Cubs manager Joe Maddon let lefty Jason Heyward bat or ask one of his three right-handers to pinch hit?
By now you know the decision -- and the result. It's one we've seen often this year from the Cubs' right fielder.
