Cubbies Crib: Morning Marquee 10/14
A new week begins in baseball on the hells of a memorable night at Fenway Park. The Detroit Tigers pitching staff once again went more than seven innings before giving up a hit and looked to take a 2-0 lead back to Detroit before David Ortiz launched a grand slam to right field in the eighth inning. Saltalamacchia then hit a walk-off in the ninth to even up the series. The National League Championship Series resumes in Los Angeles tonight with Hyun-Jin Ryu taking the ball for the Dodgers as they look to climb out of a 0-2 deficit against Adam Wainwright.
The Cubs will begin accelerating their search for a new manager this week. Leading candidate Rick Renteria is reported to meet with the Cubs this week about the job and the Cubs are trying to talk to Tampa Bay Rays bench coach Dave Martinez too.
