“I just did so much better job moving in and out, changing speeds and staying out of the way,” Hendricks said. “I made a lot more good pitches today, felt so much more like myself. Out front, really getting my fastball down with sink, especially my glove side. So once I have that, then I can move the ball around like I like normally do and you get some calls like that.”
“I love to see wins like this: close games. It’s playoff baseball, in a sense. You’re going to see their best out of the pen. You’re going to see that starter go deep into the game, and how you react is what will play in October. If you continue to grind, continue to go out there and be productive and have a no-give-in attitude, wash this game and go on to the next, it shows the character of the clubhouse.”
By tipoff Sunday, both teams had nothing to play for. The Bulls were eliminated from play-in contention at the start of the weekend, so they sat LaVine, Nikola Vučević, Daniel Theis, Troy Brown Jr. and Tomáš Satoranský. Meanwhile, the Bucks were locked into the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference once the Brooklyn Nets won shortly before the game started, so they pulled their entire starting lineup.
Getting to the No. 8 spot for the play-in round is a massive comeback story for the Wizards, who started the season 0-5 and 3-12, were shut down for two weeks in January for coronavirus-related issues, had to play 38 games in the final 67 days to make up for all of that lost time and were 17-32 early last month.
With Yasmani Grandal at the plate, Davis threw a 1-1 knuckle-curve into the dirt. The ball bounced away but not very far from catcher Cam Gallagher. Abreu sprinted home and slid and avoided Gallagher’s tag. After a review, the call stood as the Sox ended their homestand on a positive note.
“When you trade up to draft a quarterback like Justin, everyone’s very excited and they want to know when, when, when, and trust me, we all understand that,” Nagy said. “But we need to make sure that whatever that plan is that we put together, that it’s the best thing for the Chicago Bears.
A heads-up aggressive play by Ian Happ put the Cubs ahead in the third. Happ, who was on second after a single and a Willson Contreras walk, kept running on Kris Bryant’s one-out grounder to second. Bryant beat the throw to first to break up the potential inning-ending play, and first baseman Schoop’s throw home was off target as Happ easily scored for a 1-0 lead.

“Even though it was 10 hours long, there was so much left on the cutting room floor,” “Last Dance” director Jason Hehir (Mikey Day) explains, setting up the supposedly extended scene, which begins with Michael-Key’s Jordan losing a $5 bet on the quarters game and quickly devolves into a total debasement of Gardner’s Wozniak.
“There are differences, a little more freedom, especially not wearing a mask,” Sox manager Tony La Russa said Sunday. “But I’m not sure when we go to Minnesota (Monday), what we’ll do there as far as getting away from the hotel. But knock on wood, we are trending in the right direction, not just baseball, but as a country.”
