MLB Note - Chicago Cubs Lackey, John

Oct 16, 2017 - 5:29 AM RHP John Lackey has pitched in the postseason 10 different years with four different teams, so Cubs manager Joe Maddon had no problem going to him with the Dodgers having the potential game-winning run on second base with two outs Sunday in the ninth inning of Game 2 of the NL Championship Series. Lackey walked Chris Taylor before yielding Justin Turner's game-winning three-run homer. "I'm betting on his experience right there as much as anything," Maddon said of his decision to go with Lackey. "I know he went out there and tried to make the pitches he wanted to make. I knew the crowd would not affect him, and it didn't."
