It’s funny what an 18-inning game can do to a baseball’s team pitching rotation.
In the case of the
Chicago Cubs, it has prompted manager Dusty Baker to scratch starter
Rich Hill for this afternoon’s game with the
Houston Astros after the lefty threw two innings and got the win in the
8-6 marathon win Tuesday night. As a result, most sportsbooks have pulled the game off the board until the Cubs manager decides who will start opposite
Andy Pettitte when the two teams square off at 2:05 p.m. ET today.
