Neither team had been able to push a run across through the first six innings, so even a tenuous one-run lead felt like it could assure victory given the shorter games. Ah, but that is changing now as teams play a full nine innings unless a mutual agreement has been reached. In this case, that meant the Angels were able to nose their way to a tie on the strength of a run-scoring triple in the 9th.
The Cubs opted not to take their last turn at bat, so the score ended in a deadlock. The regulars had all been lifted by then anyway and the results of these games are anything but consequential.
