The Chicago Cubs‘ John Lackey didn’t look like he was going to pick up his sixth win in a row at first. The Cincinnati Reds loaded the bases in the first, but managed to only push across one run in the first. The Cubs, on the other hand, did the same thing. And Anthony Rizzo cleared them off with a grand slam to put the Cubs up 4-1. After the bullpen sputtered and allowed the Reds to tie the game, the bottom of the order was able to save the day.
Javier Baez led off the inning with a double and eventually moved over to third after a walk and fielders choice by Ben Zobrist.
