I'll settle for a win
without having to go to extras.

and two innings of spotless
showcasing relief for kevin hart
All he has to do is be the pitcher of record when the Cubs start hitting in the 8th, that should be enough time for the Indians bullpen to explode.

Let's score plenty,
so we can avoid a walkoff and/or extra innings. Let’s get Wells his (long overdue) win.

Nobody thought he could be this good - even the Cubs.
They left him unprotected in the Rule 5 draft last season… and the Blue Jays, who selected him, probably didn’t think much of him either since they sent him back here.

With Lee, look at the complete package. When he is not hitting well, the glove still saves us runs. When he is hitting well, like now, he is an all star.

Let it be emphasized that the guy at 3rd base was Jake Fox, by the way...
"I'm not much of a chemistry guy, you know. Chemistry to me is a pinch-hit double with the bases loaded"--Jim Frey, Chicago Tribune, 1985.
Fox looked the runner back before tossing to Lee
It ended up being a close play because of it.

Just sayin’…I was never good at playing 3rd base so I don’t really know.
"I'm not much of a chemistry guy, you know. Chemistry to me is a pinch-hit double with the bases loaded"--Jim Frey, Chicago Tribune, 1985.
He had to range left to get the ball
