Lancaster Emerges as Cubs' Key Setup Man in Playoffs
Cubs reliever Les Lancaster, recalled June 24 after a stint with Iowa, proved invaluable for Don Zimmer as setup man for Mitch Williams. He pitched four innings in Game 2 of the NLCS, preserving a 9-5 Cubs win over the Giants, and had allowed 30 consecutive scoreless innings for a Cubs reliever. Lancaster credited the minor league move as a blessing and highlighted Zimmer’s faith in him. The Cubs’ opening-inning surge set a playoff record, while Mark Grace tied a league playoff mark with six hits in two straight games.
