What a game and what a win as the Cubs took Game 1 of the NLDS on Friday night. Jon Lester shut out the Giants for eight innings. And Javier Baez delivered the big hit in a 1-0 win in the Cubs’ first ‘Big Boy Game’ of the postseason.
It was the oldest player on the field that had the biggest impact in a game that was decided by one run on a home run in the bottom of the eighth inning. While Javier Baez and Jon Lester grabbed the headlines, it was David Ross that was difference in the game.
