Original: Boyd tabbed as Cubs' first 'out-getter' for Game 1 vs. Padres
The Chicago Cubs have named Matthew Boyd as their first 'out-getter' — effectively their starting pitcher — for Game 1 of their playoff series against the San Diego Padres. The unusual terminology is drawing attention, but the baseball takeaway is clear: Boyd will open the postseason on the mound for Chicago as the club begins its push against San Diego.
Why now: The Cubs are opening their playoff series against the Padres and revealing their Game 1 pitching choice.
