Red Sox 5, Cubs 4: So close

If Dansby Swanson can hold on to that little floater into left field, the Cubs probably turn a double play in the bottom of the ninth, because Jarren Duran had strayed from third base. In that case the game probably goes to extra innings.

But he didn’t. Don’t blame Dansby, that would have been close to the play of the year if he makes it. It didn’t happen and the Cubs lost the rubber game of the series 5-4.

Give the Cubs a lot of credit, though — they came back with late-inning rallies to tie the game after being completely shut down by Tanner Houck for more than six innings.
