<p id="tTQBjX">Well, there are some pretty famous games in there — a couple of no-hitters, Kerry Wood’s 20-K game (the latter is the highest nine-inning Game Score in MLB history at 105).</p>
<p id="O0l8q6">But wait! There’s more!</p>
<p id="piVymf">Lester’s 99-pitch effort was the first complete game thrown by any Cub with fewer than 100 pitches since <span>Carlos Zambrano</span> threw a 98-pitch two-hit shutout, also against the Giants in San Francisco <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SFN/SFN200909250.shtml">September 25, 2009</a>. </p>
<p id="mbqf2v">Need more? I’ve got one better for you. The last Cubs pitcher to throw a CG with fewer than 100 pitches <em>at Wrigley Field</em> before Tuesday night was ... ready for this? <span>Sergio Mitre</span>, who threw a five-hit, 99-pitch shutout against the <a href="https://www.fishstripes.com/">Marlins</a> <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN200506140.shtml">June 14, 2005</a>. (Now there’s a bar bet you could win.)</p>
<p id="fpRKlX">Wait, I still have more, and it gets even better. Here are all the nine-inning games in major-league history (at least those with a verified pitch count) where the pitcher threw a complete game, had a Game Score of 93 or higher and 99 or fewer pitches:</p>

<p id="mHdshx">More no-hitters, four perfect games... well, you get the idea. You’ll note no Cubs pitchers are on that list. Thus you could make a legitimate argument that this game, along with the Wood 20-K game, are the most dominant games by any Cubs pitcher in history.</p>
<p id="7lmNLe">Lester faced the minimum number of hitters in every inning except the fifth, when doubles by <span>Buster Posey</span> (just down the left-field line out of the reach of <span>Kris Bryant</span>) and <span>Brandon Crawford</span> produced the Giants’ only run of the game. The only Giant to reach base in any other inning was <span>Justin Ruggiano</span>, who singled to left and who was promptly erased on a double play.</p>
<p id="RpLYc1">Meanwhile, the Cubs were pounding home runs off <span>Johnny Cueto</span>, who allowed a famous home run to <span>Javier Baez</span> in the previous inning he’d pitched against the Cubs before Tuesday, in last year’s division series.</p>
<p id="JdLvZl"><span>Kyle Schwarber</span> began the fun with this moonshot:</p>

<p id="jYRYfi">After the Giants made it 4-1 in the fifth, just one man reached base for either team: Bryant, who walked with one out in the sixth, went to second on a wild pitch and third on a groundout, but was stranded.</p>
<p id="fY6bVx">That led to one more fascinating number for the evening: two hours, five minutes, the time of game (after a one-hour, five-minute rain delay). That made it the fastest game by time at Wrigley Field since <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN201205090.shtml">May 9, 2012</a>, a 2:05, 1-0 win over the <a href="https://www.talkingchop.com/">Braves</a>. The next previous game at Wrigley that was 2:05 or quicker was in 2007.</p>
<p id="1XF1sW">Curious thing about that game length: Since Tuesday’s game was on ESPN (as well as local channels), MLB’s national-TV inning break of 2:25 was in effect, instead of the standard inning break of 2:05. That’s an extra 20 seconds per half inning, or 340 seconds, which is five minutes, 40 seconds. Without national TV, that game could have been completed in under two hours, which hasn’t been done at Wrigley since 2002.</p>
<p id="L7QH4A">One more excellent Cubs play to note from this win: After the Giants scored their run in the fifth, Crawford had advanced to third on a single by <span>Eduardo Nunez</span> with one out. <span>Willson Contreras</span> took care of Nunez <a href="https://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/mp4/2017/05/24/1420765983/1495589225679/asset_1800K.mp4">with this strong throw [VIDEO]</a>.</p>

<p id="w3A8Pg">When the gates opened at Wrigley Field Tuesday, I would not have given much of a chance for this game to even be played. It was raining moderately hard at that point, and forecasts and radars did not look good. Even though it was still raining a little after 6 (the original game time), the Cubs had the tarp removed and got water off the warning track, which was pretty soggy. A 7 p.m. game start was announced, and though it took until 7:10 for the actual first pitch to be thrown, they did begin, even though it was still raining at the time. Rain fell lightly through most of the first three innings, and the announced attendance of 32,905 was the smallest, by far, of 2017. Nowhere near that many were actually in the ballpark. I’d say about half that number were in Wrigley to see one of the best pitching performances in Cubs history.</p>
<p id="sdTa2N">This was exactly what the Cubs needed, with the bullpen taxed and starting pitching not being one of the strong points of this team so far this year. Not only was this the Cubs’ first complete game of the year, it was the first time any Cubs starter had even pitched in the eighth or ninth inning at all. And Lester originally wasn’t slated to start this game — this would have ordinarily been <span>Kyle Hendricks</span>’ turn, but with the rainout Saturday, the rotation was adjusted to start Lester on his normal four days’ rest, which turned out to be an excellent decision by Joe Maddon.</p>
<p id="TIMvGU">Lester loves pitching at Wrigley Field. He has a 1.80 ERA there in six starts this year, and over his last 16 regular-season starts at the Friendly Confines he’s 12-0 with a 1.55 ERA.</p>
<p id="S1QxoR">The Cubs, meanwhile, are beginning to get on a roll. The win makes them 5-2 on the homestand, and they have hit 15 home runs in those seven games.</p>
<p id="dXueOl">It appears the rain might finally take a break Wednesday evening, with just <a href="http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lon=-87.65588076171873&lat=41.94779786503588#.WSV1TxMrLKI">a 30 percent chance of light showers</a>. Kyle Hendricks gets the ball for the Cubs, and <span>Matt Moore</span> will start for the Giants.</p>

<p>The Cubs look to even up their series with the Giants.</p> <p>You're probably getting as tired of seeing this as I'm getting tired of posting it:</p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.trb.tv/wgn-ftp/wximages/WGNTV_Radar_Regional_A.gif"></p>
<p>Again, with this being the only visit of the Giants to Wrigley and not many feasible makeup dates, they will likely do whatever they can to get this one in.</p>

<p>The last time these pitchers matched up was <a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN201610070.shtml">Game 1 of last year's NLDS</a>. Both threw eight innings. Cueto was dominant, striking out eight, but Javier Baez's homer was the difference in the 1-0 Cubs win. Lester struck out five and didn't walk anyone.</p>
<p>You all know the story of how Joe Maddon and the Cubs didn't want to face Cueto again. Now they will under very different circumstances. Both teams are struggling, and Cueto doesn't have overall good numbers. He has made some good starts this year, but has also allowed eight home runs in nine starts, and allowed at least four runs in four of his nine outings.</p>
<p>Lester has also struggled at times this year. He has a 4.89 ERA and 1.543 WHIP over his last six starts. However, he's been much better at Wrigley (2.03 ERA, 1.000 WHIP, five starts) than on the road (5.73 ERA, 1.909 WHIP, four starts). So that's good. Cueto has been marginally worse away from San Francisco (4.94 ERA on road, 4.04 ERA at home).</p>
<p id="4L1TQR">Today's game is on CSN Chicago. It’s also on ESPN (outside the Chicago and San Francisco markets). The earlier-than-usual starting time was requested by ESPN.</p>

<p id="4R9cxt">The 2017 Game Thread procedure will be the same as the one used during 2016. Here's how it works.</p>
<p id="uNrOo7">You'll find the game preview posted separately on the front page, two hours before game time (90 minutes for some early day games following night games).</p>
<p id="Jy7Er2">At the same time, a StoryStream containing the preview will also post on the front page. The First Pitch Thread and all the overflow threads will be published in that stream, as well as the recap. The recap will also live on the front page as a separate post, and at the time I write the recap I will rename the stream "Cubs vs. (Team) (Day of Week) Game Threads" so you can go back and find every thread related to that particular game.</p>
<p id="F5ehVY">You will also be able to find the preview, First Pitch Thread, all the overflow threads and recap in the box marked "Chicago Cubs Game Threads" at the bottom of the front page (you can also find them in <a href="http://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/chicago-cubs-game-threads">this section link</a>). They will also appear in the game's StoryStream as noted above.</p>
<p id="pjBR1E">The First Pitch thread will post at five minutes before game time, then an overflow thread at one hour, two hours and 2:45 after the scheduled game time.</p>
