I Don’t Want You Facing Gallo

Craig Counsell Just took out Cubs starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks with Joey Gallo of the Nationals coming to the plate in the top of the sixth inning with two men on. According to the Beat the Streak Neural Network (NN), Gallo versus Hendricks was predicted to yield the lowest probability of a hit in the game, .484. Keegan Thompson comes in and gives up a three-run homer. Oops!

Meanwhile, MacKenzie Gore works on a no-hitter in the bottom of the sixth with the Nationals leading 5-0.

Update: Patrick Wisdom homers with one out in the seventh inning to break up the no-hitter.
