ATLANTA — The Cubs strode off the field slowly as the Braves converged in shallow left field to celebrate their walk-off win, fireworks bursting overhead.
The Cubs lost 6-5 in 10 innings Wednesday, one night after a heartbreaking 7-6 loss in which they blew a six-run lead. The Cubs (82-76) handed the third National League wild-card spot to the Marlins (82-76), who split a doubleheader against the Mets.
