With over 90 pitches, and a run behind, with 2 on and no outs, they let Lester hit in high leverage situation. Lester popped out, and Baez hit into a double play to end the inning. If not for Almora’s single, the Cubs wouldn’t have tied it. he ended up only pitching 2/3 of an inning more, registering 106 pitches for the game after getting into a jam. This with the bullpen well rested after outstanding performances from the other starters in the previous three games.
