What mattered was the Chicago Cubs picked up a 3-2 victory Monday night over the Colorado Rockies in a sloppy game on the first consistently warm date at Wrigley Field this season. If Lester couldn't get the win, he was just as happy that reliever Luke Farrell got it to earn his first big- league victory. Even more important for the Cubs was that they took over first place in the National League Central. The victory, the Cubs' fifth in a row, moved them to 16-10 and put them one-half game ahead of the Pittsburgh Pirates (17-12), who fell to Washington. Farrell is the son of former Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell, for whom Lester played. "I've known him since he was 13, I think," Lester said of Luke Farrell. "I don't care who gets the win. The biggest thing is if we win, and obviously, when you get your first, that's an added bonus." Farrell, a graduate of Northwestern University, worked 1⅓ perfect innings, taking over for Lester with two outs in the sixth. "It's cool," said Farrell, claimed off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds last October. "I won't try and downplay it. To get your first win in the major leagues is an awesome thing and an achievement I appreciate fully." Some uncharacterisctally bad Cubs defense forced Lester to throw 37 of his 106 pitches in the fifth inning. The Cubs opened the scoring in the second. Ben Zobrist doubled down the left-field line and came in on Addison Russell's single. The Rockies scored a pair of unearned runs in the fifth. Noel Cuevas bunted for a single before Pat Valaika walked. Pitcher Kyle Freeland bunted. Cubs catcher Willson Contreras pounced on the ball and threw hard to first base. Javier Baez, moving from second to cover, dropped the ball for an error to load the bases. A single by Charlie Blackmon and a double by Nolan Arenado put the Rockies up 2-1. Albert Almora's RBI single in the fifth tied the game. Kris Bryant made an error in the sixth to hasten Lester's departure. In the bottom of the sixth, Bryant tripled off the left-field wall and came home on Anthony Rizzo's groundout as first baseman Ian Desmond bobbled the ball. Early work for Rizzo: Anthony Rizzo was out Monday afternoon taking early batting practice. He entered the game batting .157 and having gone 1-for-14 against the Milwukee Brewers over the weekend. "He was very unlucky a couple games ago," manager Joe Maddon said. "I think that whole series was a little bad luck running in his direction. It's coming back. He's really good at what he does. I think he's been fouling his pitch off. Otherwise, he's fine." Finally, a warm day: Monday's gametime temperature of 80 was a far cry from the 46 on Sunday and the 43 on Saturday to go along with a 37-degree windchill. -- Daily Herald Epstein proud of Chicago Cubs players after month of growth By Bruce Miles There will be no Maydays sent up for the Cubs or by the Cubs as this May Day dawns. In fact, team president Theo Epstein expressed satisfaction over the March/April the Chicago Cubs experienced, even if there were some bumps along the way. "The biggest thing I like is how many guys seem to be really growing and getting better and as a team, too," Epstein said before Monday night's series opener against the Colorado Rockies at Wrigley Field. "I said the other day, too, when we were close to .500, I said I'd rather have the record we had but with the growth and certain guys facing some difficult stretches and coming out of it and making adjustments that I think will serve them well for the rest of the season. "I'd rather have that experience than maybe we'd run into some homers or had a better record but without the growth that we've experienced. I'm proud of what our guys have done in April and how it sets us up going forward." After beginning the season with Ian Happ as the leadoff man, Albert Almora Jr. playing here and there and Javier Baez hitting eighth, the Cubs have adjusted on the fly and have taken off. They entered Monday 15-10 after hovering around .500 most of April. Almora and Baez have been the 1-2 hitters in the lineup most of the time since April 19, when the Cubs finished up a rain-shortened series with the Cardinals. Epstein cited that series as kind of an epiphany. He also cited the work of new hitting coach Chili Davis, who replaced the fired John Mallee. Manager Joe Maddon noted differences in approaches several times during this homestand. "Chili came in with kind of a mandate of getting guys to consider using the whole field a little bit more, working on situational hitting, two-strike approach, working on line drives through the gap instead of an all-or-nothing approach that sometimes we can fall victim to at times the way the whole league does," Epstein said. "In that regard, it's been a really nice first month as a team. You can see that last game of the last homestand against St. Louis, we kind of turned the corner. If you remember, there was a rainout that day before, and guys were wearing out the cage with Chili and (assistant hitting coach Andy Haines) and those other guys. "I think that was the day we had a big increase in buy-in (to) team-wide offensive approach that we were going to use the whole field.

    The Boston Red Sox Saturday, September 23, 2017 * The Boston Globe Red Sox put new formula to work in win over Reds Peter Abraham CINCINNATI — The Red Sox were up by a run after four innings against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night and Rick Porcello had thrown only 57 pitches. His performance had been erratic, the righthander putting eight men in base. But Porcello expected he would stay in the game because that is what managers traditionally do, they let starting pitchers try to hold a lead. But most managers do not have a pitcher of David Price’s caliber in the bullpen and John Farrell does. Farrell turned to Price in the fifth inning and he handed that lead over to Addison Reed with two outs in the seventh. Craig Kimbrel took over in the ninth and the Sox beat the Reds, 5-4. It was a dress rehearsal for the playoffs, the Sox using Price for multiple innings to get to Reed and Kimbrel. That combination can be as good if not better than what any other playoff team has. “You saw it last year in the playoffs, so many starters went five innings or even less. You need that guy to bridge the gap,” Reed said. “When that guy is David Price, it doesn’t get much better. We’re pretty damn excited to have him down there.” With the Yankees losing in Toronto, the Sox now lead the American League East by four games with nine games to play. “The ball’s in our court.

    November 4, 2016 ESPNChicago.com From 1908 until now: Cubs' run of heartache finally ends By Bradford Doolittle We want to say this all began in 1945 because a colorful tavern owner tried to drag a smelly goat named Murphy with him to a World Series game. We then employ what Joe Maddon likes to call "outcome bias" as proof of this alleged curse, bringing up such hobgoblins as the black cat in 1969, Leon Durham's glove in 1984 and Steve Bartman's eager hands in 2003. In reality, this began long before any of that. It started with a poor soul named Fred Merkle, in the year 1908 -- the last time the Chicago Cubs won a World Series. On Wednesday night, the 2016 Cubs put an end date on that cursed year by winning the franchise's first World Series in 108 years, beating the Cleveland Indians in extra innings in Game 7, 8-7. The reasons the Cubs didn't win it all for so long aren't easy to distill in a work less than book length. There are a few wide-umbrella factors that one can easily point to. With the 2016 World Series over after a stunning comeback from Chicago's North Siders, there's a good reason to revisit those factors. A very good reason in fact: They no longer exist. HOW IT STARTED There is an old book called "Baseball's Amazing Teams" by a writer named Dave Wolf. The book chronicles the most interesting team from each decade of the 20th century.

    MEDIA CLIPS – Jan. 23, 2019 Walker short in next-to-last year on HOF ballot Former slugger receives 54.6 percent of vote; Helton gets 16.5 percent in first year of eligibility Thomas Harding | MLB.com | Jan. 22, 2019 DENVER -- Former Rockies star Larry Walker introduced himself under a different title during his conference call with Denver media on Tuesday: "Fifty-four-point-six here." That's the percentage of voters who checked Walker in his ninth year of 10 on the Baseball Writers' Association of America Hall of Fame ballot. It's a dramatic jump from his previous high, 34.1 percent last year -- an increase of 88 votes. However, he's going to need an 87-vote leap to reach the requisite 75 percent next year, his final season of eligibility. Jayson Stark of the Athletic noted during MLB Network's telecast that the only player to receive a jump of at least 80 votes in successive years was former Reds shortstop Barry Larkin, who was inducted in 2012. But when publicly revealed ballots had him approaching the mid-60s in percentage, Walker admitted feeling excitement he hadn't experienced in past years. "I haven't tuned in most years because there's been no chance of it really happening," Walker said. "It was nice to see this year, to watch and to have some excitement involved with it. "I was on Twitter and saw the percentages that were getting put out there for me. It made it more interesting. I'm thankful to be able to go as high as I was there before the final announcement." When discussing the vote, one must consider who else is on the ballot.

    MEDIA CLIPS – April 26, 2018 Rox' 3rd-inning rally backs Gray's superb start Thomas Harding / MLB.com | April 25, 2018 DENVER -- To the Rockies' delight and the Padres' chagrin, right-hander Jon Gray on Wednesday afternoon turned his clock back to Sept. 17, 2016. Gray racked up 11 strikeouts while throwing 101 pitches through six innings of the Rockies' 5-2 victory, which clinched the three-game series. It was reminiscent of his Rockies and Coors Field-record 16-strikeout game two seasons ago. View Full Game Coverage It was the Rockies' first series win at Coors, where they generally have to dominate to contend because of a long tradition of road struggles. The home record improved to 5-7. They're 9-5 on the road, but will embark on their longest road trip to date -- against the Marlins, Cubs and Mets starting Friday. And Gray -- unfailingly honest about his pluses and minuses while losing his last three starts (19 runs, 18 earned, 26 hits in 15 2/3 innings) -- was clear-eyed in his assessment: hard to hit, but not economical. "I could have gone seven, maybe eight, if I would have been more efficient and wouldn't have wasted as many," Gray said. "But then again, I really can't complain about that. If they're not putting the ball in play, it's a way better out. I'll take it." On Wednesday, Gray fanned the side in the first inning. He used 20 pitches to do so, but he needed just 26 more pitches to clear the first time through the order, and struck out seven of the nine.
