“Ohtani’s Sunday Night Showdown: Will He Rewrite the Record Books Against Rivals?”
The Cubs looked great yesterday. At least they did against the Dodgers bullpen. In the Saturday contest, the first six innings were pretty boring. They were able to get a run off of starter Roki Sasaki, the second time they faced him already this season. Then the floodgates opened as the Cubs started hitting the relievers. The Cubs scored 14 runs in the final three frames en route to a 16-0 win. It was good for a Cubs team to get a victory against a Dodgers team that was already up 3-0 for the season series. This came a day after the Cubs were held scoreless. Tonight, on Sunday Night Baseball, the Cubs send out Colin Rea to the hill. Rea is, I assume, acting like an opener in this game rather than a starter. He is a relief pitcher essentially and should go between three and five innings for the Cubs. For the season, he has just 5.1 innings under his belt over three starts, but they have been very good with no runs allowed and just five hits. Dodgers hitters have done pretty well against Rea though with 17 hits in 56 at-bats and seven of those going for extra bases. Shohei Ohtani has two hits against Rea in six at-bats and both have left the yard.ÂÂ
