2015 Cubs Victories Revisited, May 31: Cubs 2, Royals 1

If this had been a game played in similar weather conditions in late October or early November as part of a Cubs/Royals World Series, it would have been legendary. As it was, it was quite an unusual pitchers' duel, with some controversial umpiring calls and the winning run driven in by a player who had only nine RBI all year. The win made the Cubs 26-22. They were still in second place behind the Cardinals, but now six games behind.

I don't think I've ever seen a game quite like this one, a 2-1, 11-inning Cubs win over the Royals.
