Hector Rondon now closing in Chicago

July 29, 2015

Chicago Cubs – Joe Maddon said last night that he anticipated Hector Rondon winning the closer’s role back, and that happened today after he struck out two of the three Rockies he faced to preserve a 3-2 win. Maddon also praised Pedro Strop last night, and with former closer Jason Motte pitching in a five-run loss last night, we’ll move Strop ahead of Motte for now.

Updated hierarchy: Rondon | Strop | Motte.
