Cubs Turn to Boyd’s Resilience for NLDS Game 1 Against Brewers

The Chicago Cubs are ready to unleash left-hander Matthew Boyd as their starting pitcher for Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Milwaukee Brewers. Boyd will take the mound on short rest, a testament to the team’s urgency and a reflection of manager Craig Counsell’s commitment to a win-now mentality.

Boyd’s Recent Performance

Boyd’s last outing was in the Wild Card Series against the San Diego Padres, where he pitched into the fifth inning on Tuesday. He managed to throw 58 pitches over 4 1/3 innings before handing the game over to the bullpen. Despite the quick turnaround, Boyd’s performance leaves the Cubs confident in his ability to deliver.

Strategic Decision-Making

An all-hands-on-deck strategy seems to be the mantra for the Cubs as they approach this high-stakes matchup. Boyd’s willingness to step up, even after a short rest, highlights the team’s determination. He warmed up in the bullpen yesterday, effectively using it as a side session to prepare for this critical game. Reports indicate that he felt good following today’s workout, affirming that he is ready to take the ball when it counts the most.

The Cubs’ decision to start Boyd underscores their aggressive approach in the postseason, where every game matters. With the series against the Brewers looming, Boyd’s resilience will be tested as he looks to set the tone for the rest of the series.
