Chicago Cubs – Hector Rondon struck out all three hitters he faced in a perfect ninth inning on Sunday afternoon, featuring mostly an array of 98 mph fastballs. It wasn’t a save since the Cubs were up 4-0, but Pedro Strop had already been used in the 8th, so this looks like a changing of the guard in Chicago. We’ll try not to say “I told you so” too loud. Hierarchy change: Hector Rondon to Closer, Pedro Strop to Set-up.
