CHICAGO -- Daniel Murphy (Murph) hit a go-ahead home run in the eighth inning, but the Cubs needed David Bote (Boat) to deliver the game winner with a walk-off homer in the 10th inning to open Players' Weekend.
Bote connected on an 0-2 slider from Raisel Iglesias with one out in the 10th to lead the Cubs to a 3-2 victory over the Reds on Friday afternoon at Wrigley Field, improving to 3-0 since Murphy joined the team. It was the Cubs' sixth walk-off win this season and Bote's second -- he hit a walk-off grand slam on Aug.
