Replay shows Rizzo was playing far off first on the shift, so perhaps that's why Starlin waited so long.

Opposite field is the sweetest part. Really wasn't sure how much power he had going the other way. That certainly is the first piece of evidence he could do more than what I was sure of.

This time Samardzija used his splitter on 1-1 and the strikeout. Nice.

His slider and splitter might look similar, Gameday's calling them almost interchangeably.

Every one of Rizzo's RBI have been go ahead right? That's pretty impressive.
