Cubs vs. Tigers Game Highlights (5/16/21) | MLB Highlights

Tigers have Matt Boyd on the mound today two and three see the area is excellent you know when Matt Boyd first came over here We're thinking this guy throws pretty good. We were looking at the velo now all of a sudden He's throwing twice as many change-ups as sliders and fastballs. He's kind of settling in a very good one He did that his last start And that's a key pitch against righties Strike three called a nice start for Matthew Boyd on this Sunday Little backdoor slider through the change-up way off the trash thought here it comes again Then it went the other way right on the edge of the plate First pitch was inside. He tried to spin on it. He thought boy was going away, and he came in and he struck him out That's the first time Rizzo has struck out in his last 25 plate appearances Shaking his head after an eight pitch first for Matthew Boyd Starting for the Cubs this afternoon is Kyle Hendricks check in with a professor 86 mile an hour sinker change-up Occasional four-seamer that he likes to elevate and the curveball to two Inside corner see you later Grossman is gone Cubs and the clubs are wearing camouflage caps Hit on the ground Jaffe they go to second First and they turn it well done Hendricks shaking his head five six three gets help from the defense into one no school To Tobias who is two for seven with a double in the series that double came last night Swung on and missed third strikeout already of the day for Matthew Boyd. He starts the second like he did the first There it is to right center field Mazzara dives and makes the catch Full Superman layout and no Marma Zara robs Matt Duffy of extra bases. He's there It's good job. He's got a beat on it Yesterday Get that glove out to the side That gives you an opportunity to make the last Few steps adjustment with your hands and look good. Do you kid me to catch that? Chris Bryant swung at the first pitch his first time Boyd is thrown eight of ten first pitch strikes Off the end of the bat softly hit Castro to Goodrum return to first Into score is half Aggressive base running from Ian happen that Cubs are on the board one zip So Brian able to leg it out and he and have Showing off the wheels there a little backhand flip there to second base He and have never stopped And a hurried throw is an errand throw probably had time scope did to take a step and make a more accurate throw and they still Would have had a play on him Another Oh to any punches him out for the second time today Chicago scores a run. They have the early lead We'll film it. Don't worry to two 17 straight games Jacoby Jones has struck out Hendricks Punches him out second strikeout today Nicely done. It was close earlier and he's able to pick off Willie Castro Yeah, again Castro was leaning and perfectly timed by Hendricks who gets another one And this will give us a really good look at it Anthony lets that ball travel Strike three called in the inning is over Hendricks strikes out Grossman. We go to inning number four All right. Here's Ian half a stretch by the left-hander Boyd Ian batting right-handed pops it up shallow center Going out and unable to make the play as the shortstop a run is gonna score Duffy comes in to score Racing to second safely as half on the play going to third as Nico Horner Cubs lead to nothing a blooper and a shallow Center falls in because if he really wanted to bunt that would have been a good pitch to bunt, right? Just want to work through that in my mind right there Mazzara Strikes out looking at Kyle Hendricks in a pretty good groove. He has struck out four here today AJ Hintz likes those catchers you understand why they've been really good at receiving to Matthew Boyd really good at dealing strikes out Chris Bryant to start the Chicago Fib Upright stance knees slightly flexed tucks that left shoulder in just a little bit swing in a minute's fastball up Three times in a row Matthew Boyd has dispatched Javier Baez with a high fastball the average Time that you have to wait between pitches in Major League Baseball today is about 23 seconds between pitches 30 plus seconds if guys are on base not with Hendricks here comes the old to Call strike three on the outside corner a one two three fifth for Hendricks and the Cubs and now it's David Bodie who's old for two Hit hard off the sidewall Racing for third is Duffy. He's coming around. Here's the throw to the plate and that's too late And ending up at third is David Bodie. It's three nothing In the air out towards right center Mazzara will make the catch Tagging at third is Bodie and the Cubs had a run Niko Horner is sac fly and it's for nothing Sixth inning two down bases empty the pitch to half half drives one in the air to deep right field This is back toward the wall. It's got a chance gone Opposite field home run Ian half Cubs lead five nothing He let that pitch get to him and get deep on the plate and then just pounds this ball the other way Caught him looking back in the third Got him to swing and miss there. That was the curve ball It's a half dozen strikeouts now for Kyle Hendricks and the pitch to Castro's Swinging a roller to the right side glove by Horner on the outfield grass good play throws to Rizzo to get him Horner a sliding stop. He was 15 to 20 feet beyond the infield dirt and shallow right Kyle Hendricks is cruising In Detroit. Oh, here's a bouncer to Horner in shallow, right? Loves it throws to first to get him Kyle Hendricks with seven shutout innings Under his belt as he walks off toward the Cubs first base dugout the longest Start by any cub hurler and Jacoby Jones will come up That's on the outside corner. Got him looking Jones frustrated. He's gone for the third time today strike three Grossman caught looking Hendricks rolling along eight shutout innings We go to the ninth Cubs five Tigers nothing bottom of the ninth Then Kyle Hendricks will continue and try and finish it off The ground and that's in the center field for a base hit yeah, David Ross is coming out and it looks like He will make the move Kyle Hendricks End of the road and a great great effort from the right hand To end the ballgame Cubs won it 5-1 is Winkler fans Goodrum
