Chicago Cubs Notes
WITH THE BATS: Cubs pitchers have combined to hit two home runs and six RBI this series…their six RBI are tied with the 1958 Braves (WS) and 1970 Orioles (ALCS) for most RBI by a team's pitchers in a postseason series.
• Became first team to have two pitchers homer in same postseason series since the 1924 New York Giants in the World Series (Rosy Ryan in Game 3 and Jack Bentley in Game 5).
JAKE ARRIETA: His three-run homer was the first by any pitcher in any postseason game since Steve Carlton off Don Sutton in Game 3 of the 1978 NLCS.
• Is just the fourth pitcher in Major League history to win a Cy Young and slug a home run in the postseason (Bob Gibson, Rick Sutcliffe and Steve Carlton).
KRIS BRYANT: His game-tying HR in the ninth inning was the first by a Cubs' player in the postseason since Sammy Sosa in Game 1 of the 2003 NLCS vs. the Marlins.
