First pitch is scheduled for 8:08 p.m.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-secret=\"MZeuJXvcKY\"><p>Column: First-inning flop leaves Matthew Boyd in good company in Chicago Cubs postseason history<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI know what I\u2019m going to do when the ball is in my hand, and when that time comes (Thursday) I\u2019ll be ready,\u201d Boyd said after the Cubs\u2019 4-3 win in Wednesday\u2019s Game 3.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know what I\u2019m going to do. I\u2019m going to compete and leave it all out there on the field. It takes all of us to go where we want to go, and I\u2019ll do my role, and when that time comes, I\u2019ll be ready to do exactly what I know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Milwaukee tagged Boyd for six runs (two earned) in Game 1 Saturday at American Family Field, ending his day after only two outs. A fielding error by second baseman Nico Hoerner compounded Boyd\u2019s struggles. But the veteran didn\u2019t look sharp pitching on short rest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou go out here and put yourself in the best position to be the best version of yourself,\u201d Boyd said. \u201cWhen you have an outing that doesn\u2019t go the way you want, that isn\u2019t a desirable one, you go through and say what can I do better?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Cubs face their third elimination game this postseason when they face Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta. A win would force a decisive Game 5 Saturday in Milwaukee with a spot in the NL Championship Series on the line.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur team, we\u2019ve got our own identity, our own heartbeat, we fight to the end and we\u2019re resilient,\u201d Boyd said. \u201cIt showed (Wednesday) and it showed throughout the season and it showed throughout this clubhouse.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chicago Cubs\u2019 Matthew Boyd gets the start in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field after failing to get through the first inning in Game 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":105381,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[282,1238,290,3992,4108,1168],"class_list":["post-105380","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-chicago-cubs","tag-matthew-boyd","tag-milwaukee-brewers","tag-nlds","tag-nlds-game-4","tag-wrigley-field"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
