2017 National League Championship Series Game 2 preview: Cubs vs. Dodgers, Sunday 10/15, 6:30 CT
The Cubs look to even up the NLCS at one win each. A few pre-Game 2 notes: Albert Almora Jr., at 23 years and 181 days old, last night became the fifth-youngest Cub to homer in a post-season game.

Cubs NLDS Game 4 lineup: Jason Heyward in, Kyle Schwarber out vs. Stephen Strasburg
The Nats have changed starters, so the Cubs tweaked their lineup. I don't know what caused the Nationals to change from Tanner Roark to Stephen Strasburg as the starter for today's game, but that has caused a change in the Cubs lineup: Strasburg to pitch for Nats. Heyward for Schwarber in #Cubs lineup— Bruce Miles (@BruceMiles2112) October 11, 2017 It's not yet clear whether this is a straight lineup swap, with Jason Heyward batting sixth where Kyle Schwarber was, but I think that's a reasonable assumption.
