Pulling Kershaw

Addison Russell pulls a Clayton Kershaw slider over the head of Andrew Toles in leftfield and the Cubs lead-off the bottom of the second inning with a double. The Cubs went the other way in the first inning, but they are pulling the ball here in the second. Albert Almora pulled a grounder to third, and Justin Turner made a nice play for the first out. The Cubs lead the Dodgers 2-0.

Update: Kyle Hendricks works the count full. He strikes out looking but made Kershaw throw seven pitches. Two down.

Update: Alex Rodriguez called this correctly in the pre-game show. He said the extra rest would cause Kershaw to throw very fast, but not have the command of the speed. So far, that has been the case.
