Cubs and walks given to No. 9 hitters By JohnW53 on Jun 12, 2021, 6:29am CDT +
That made it the first game since at least 2000 in which the Cubs had walked
exactly 3 batters, all in the No. 9 spot in the batting order.

3 WALKS TO NO. 9S
They had not walked 3 No. 9 hitters in a game, regardless of number of walks, since
Aug. 31, 2016, in a 6-5 victory over the Pirates, when they walked 8 in all, including the pitcher once and 2 pinch hitters.
Less than 2 weeks earlier, on Aug. 18, they had walked 10 in a 9-6 win over the Brewers, including 4 No. 9 hitters, pitcher Zach Davies and 3 pinch hitters.
