Impact Boyd took the mound on three days' rest with a 1-0 lead Saturday but saw it quickly evaporate after giving up consecutive doubles to Jackson Chourio (hamstring), Brice Turang and William Contreras to lead off the inning. Boyd went on to allow three more runners to reach base and eventually score, but a fielding error from Nico Hoerner prevented them from counting against the left-hander's ledger. Considering how much he struggled while pitching on shorter rest, the Cubs will likely give Boyd the proper four days before sending him back on the bump, putting him in line to start Game 4 on Thursday (if needed).
