Game 1
Chi 8-16-2 (de Grom, Rondon, Warren, Kimbrel)
WTF 7-9-1 (Pineda, Badenhop, Abad)
The Cowbells beat up Pineda for a 6-run 3rd. Beltre and Posey are each 3-5 with 2 RBI. Wheatfield claws back within 1 with a Mesoraco 2-run HR and an Ortiz RBI 2B, but also hit into an incredible 5 DPs to wreck their chances.
Game 2
Chi 9-13-0 (Wainwright, Rosenthal)
WTF 4-12-4 (Bumgarner, Otero, Gregorson, Badenhop, O'Day)
Abreu goes 3-5 with an RBI and Posey adds a 2-run HR as the Cowbells take advantage of some shoddy Whiffers' defense. Machado has 2 solo HRs for Wheatfield and Bumgarner added a 2-run HR, but got chased after just 5.1. Wainwright nearly went the distance, striking out 9.
Game 3
Chi 5-10-0 (Quintana, Rondon, Warren, Kimbrel)
WTF 6-14-0 (Price, Abad)
Quintana left with a nice 5-1 lead only to have the bullpen implode for Chicago. Kimbrel served up a 3-run HR to Puig in the 8th and then a 2-run walk-off diamond shot to Walker in the 9th to decide it. Ruggiano had a 2-run HR for the Cowbells, while Posey was 3-4 with a 2B.
Series: 2-1, Chicago.
