“Each time out you see his confidence growing,” said Roberts, who removed Yamamoto only because his pitch count climbed to 103 (the second-highest of his MLB career).
“He holds his adrenaline. He makes pitches when he needs to. Right now, he’s in a place where he’s really unflappable.”
Boyd, a veteran left-hander who entered the night having not given up a run in two starts for the Cubs (9-7), wasn’t so lucky in the sixth.
Hernández battled back from an 0-and-2 count to poke a full-count changeup to center for a single. Freeman — who said before the game that the ankle he had surgically repaired this offseason, then reaggravated this month by slipping in the shower, was “the best [it has] felt” since he sprained it late last season — then took a wide sinker off the side of his hip.
