The Cubs were looking forward to Hendricks’ start. The 26-year-old right-hander earned the No. 2 spot in the playoff rotation, based largely on his 2.13 season ERA and his home record of 9-2 with a 1.32 ERA. So it had to be a little disappointing he wasn’t able to go deeply into this game.
“It was definitely disappointing in a way,” he said. “But you can’t look at it like that. The situation happened like it did. I had to come out, and that’s what we have done all year, is relied on everyone on this team. Everyone gets it done. Putting all those zeros up was huge. Putting on that extra run from (Wood) was huge. That’s what the game was all about, really.”
The Cubs wasted little time jumping on Samardzija. Dexter Fowler led off the bottom of the first with a double. Two outs later, Ben Zobrist singled Fowler home.
In the second, Jason Heyward opened with a double. Javier Baez walked, and Willson Contreras lined a single to right, loading the bases. Hendricks dropped his 2-run single into center field. After Fowler flied out to move Contreras to third, Kris Bryant brought Contreras home with a single.
The Giants cut the Cubs’ lead in half in the third. Joe Panik led off with a single. Giants manager Bruce Bochy decided to bat for Samardzija, and the move paid off as Gregor Blanco doubled to the gap in left-center to score Panik. Denard Span grounded out, sending Blanco to third. Brandon Belt’s sacrifice fly made it a 4-2 game.
