Cubs Get Crafty with Starters as Relievers for Playoffs

The Chicago Cubs are getting crafty this August! They're turning their starting pitchers into long relievers, just like a playoff team would. Manager Craig Counsell made a bold move, pulling starter Shota Imanaga after only six outs against the Mariners. With the playoffs looming and rivals close behind, every game is a must-win, and the Cubs are ready to play like it's October!
