Joe Torre, MLB's chief basebal officer, confirmed that umpires made the wrong call on a passed ball in Game 5 of the NLDS between the Cubs and Nationals.
The Cubs announced their NLDS rotation, with Kyle Hendricks getting the nod for Game 1 vs. the Nationals. He'll be followed by Jon Lester, Jose Quintana and Jake Arrieta.
Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jake Arrieta was scratched from this Sunday's start to give his right hamstring more time to heal. Cubs manager Joe Maddon made it clear that Arrieta would pitch no earlier than Game 3 of the NLDS.
Rich Hill, who has never pitched on three days' rest, will start for the Dodgers in Game 5 of the NLDS vs. the Nationals.
The Dodgers will start Clayton Kershaw on three days' rest in Game 4 of the NLDS. The Nationals will start right-hander Joe Ross.
From Anthony Rizzo's footwork to Javier Baez's ultra-quick hands to the lack of shifting, the Cubs' defense may not get the pub, but it's the major leagues' best in seven decades.
