Ben Zobrist breaks down how Dodgers pitching has made Cubs offense disappear

Ben Zobrist didn't look for any deeper meaning in Kyle Schwarber's first-inning homer off Yu Darvish on Tuesday night at Wrigley Field, or hope that one swing could change the entire momentum of this National League Championship Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Zobrist knows what it takes to win in October, the Cubs identifying him as the missing piece to their lineup after he helped transform the 2015 Kansas City Royals into a championship team, and then getting a World Series MVP return on their $56 million investment. "That was great to get a homer, but I'd rather see some hits strung together," Zobrist said after a sloppy 6-1 loss, standing at his locker for almost 10 minutes, answering questions in the underground clubhouse.
