It was ruled a hit and E5, as Sosa would have likely beat a perfect throw. Bote charged and barehanded the ball, but his throw to 1st base was wide to Rizzo’s right and got away towards the dugout, which allowed Sosa to reach 2nd base. Edmundo Sosa tapped a 1-1 low-and-in sinker slowly towards 3rd base. To lead off the bottom of the 3rd, Justin Williams smoked a low-and-in 0-1 curve to the right side, but into the shift, where Hoerner made a nice play to his right from the grass and fired a throw across his body to throw Williams out. Pederson grounded a first-pitch outside changeup into the shift for Edman on the outfield grass to end the inning. The pitcher Hendricks grounded a first-pitch up-and-in fastball towards the middle, but Sosa ranged over to his left to snag it and throw him out. Nico Hoerner chased a low 1-2 change and grounded out to short. Martinez returned the 1-2-3 favor in the top of the 3rd on only 6 pitches. Harrison Bader grounded a 2-2 down-the-middle sinker to short to end the inning. Yadier Molina tapped a first-pitch high-and-outside sinker back to the mound. Nolan Arenado grounded a low-and-in 1-0 sinker to short. Hendricks only needed 8 pitches to dispatch the Cards in the bottom of the 2nd. David Bote squibbed a low-and-away 1-0 slider to the right of the mound for Martinez to end the inning. Ian Happ sliced a low-and-away 1-2 change for a liner to left. Javier Baez chased a 2-1 sinker almost in the dirt and grounded it towards the hole, where Arenado cut it off and threw to first to just nip Baez for the first out of the top of the 2nd. Paul Goldschmidt lined a 2-2 low-and-away change to left to end the inning. Dylan Carlson struck out chasing an elevated 2-2 fastball. Tommy Edman lined a down-the-middle 1-0 fastball right to the 2nd baseman to lead off the bottom half. Kyle Hendricks took the hill for the Cubs. Anthony Rizzo flied a first-pitch hanging curve to left to end the inning. Willson Contreras struck out chasing a nasty low 2-2 changeup. Kris Bryant grounded a low 2-2 fastball to short. Louis is exciting! #CubTogether /AUoEJ2X8As- Chicago Cubs May 22, 2021
