#153---CHN @ PIT, 4/24/2017

The Cubs beating the tar out of their hosts has become a mini-theme in this space, I guess. I don’t have anything to say about the game itself, except to point out that by tossing the last two innings for the Pirates in his big league debut, Dovydas Neverauskas became the first Lithuanian in MLB.

The good thing about posting scoresheets of blowout games is it generally allows for a lot of different situations and their corresponding representation on the scoresheet to be displayed…here we have batting around, extensive substitutions/position switches, and my favorite, a foul pop caught by the pitcher (see Mercer’s ninth inning at bat).
