EDITOR’S NOTE: With the late start to this game, Josh Timmers will write up a Rapid Recap (remember those from past postseasons?) that will post shortly after this game is over. That will run instead of BCB After Dark tonight.
Then I will post a full game recap at 8 a.m. CT tomorrow.
Monday notes… • UNDER THE LIGHTS: This will be the Cubs’ first post-season game at night since their 2-1, 13-inning loss to the Rockies, 2-1, in 13 innings in the Wild Card game at Wrigley Field on Oct. 2, 2018. They have played six consecutive post-season day games since then. The Cubs have not played a post-season game at night on the road since a 5-2 loss to the Dodgers in Game 1 of the Championship Series on Oct. 14, 2017. They last won under the lights on the road two days earlier, 9-8, at Washington
