       Shaw whiffs and the Dodgers have won the game, 4-1.
       Should have left Imanaga in.  I knew Counsell had a quick hook,
       but this was just nuts.

       All set to start Game 2; Roki Sasaki is throwing in the bullpen
       and Ohtani is standing in the on-deck circle.
       Cubs in their gray road uniforms.  Steele is taking a few last
       warmups with Carson Kelly, who is making his Cub debut behind
       the plate.  Some stats from last year: Steele threw 60%
       fastballs, 30% sliders, and 10% everything else.
       And we're under way: Ohtani hits one almost to the wall in left
       but Happ is there.  Edman second and Steele whiffs him with a
       high fastball.  Teoscar hits a weak grounder in front of the
       plate and Kelly gets his first fielding chance as a Cub,
       throwing the ball over to Busch to end the inning.
       Steele looking pretty good.  No score after half an inning.

       Roki hits 99 on the gun, setting up a beautiful 85-MPH curve on
       the inside part of the plate, then blows two 99-100 fastballs
       past Suzuki to strike him out.

       Steele loses Smith on a walk and Muncy follows with a double to
       deep right.  Second and third with nobody out.  And now what
       looks like a passed ball brings Smith in and moves Muncy to
       third.  Kike flies to center and Muncy scores easily.  2-0; not
       a good start.

       Conforto gets a hit but Steele induces a 4-6-3 double play to
       prevent further damage and get out of the inning.
       Busch, Shaw, and Swanson to try even things back up in the
       bottom of the second.

       Roki has hit his first spot of trouble.  Busch walks, Shaw hits
       a liner to short that is grabbed, then Busch steals second with
       no throw.  The next pitch is ball four to Swanson, and we've got
       men on first and second with one out.  PCA up.  Two very highly
       touted young players facing off here; let's see our guy get the
       better of theirs.

       PCA hits a sharp liner, but right at shortstop Rojas who jogs to
       second to double off the runner.  The Cubs' threat comes to an
       abrupt end.  Still 2-0 after two.

       Steele gets Pages looking and now Ohtani comes up again.  Quick
       0-2 count and with an off-speed pitch he induces a hard grounder
       to Busch at first, who takes it himself.  Nice.
       Now Edman hits a two-out homer to left, the first of the season
       for either team. 3-0, Dodgers.
