The Cubs welcomed the Braves to a very warm and windy Wrigley Field on Tuesday night, with conditions distinctly in the hitters favor. Surprisingly, there were only two home runs all night. The game was a low-scoring extra innings affair that was decided by a walk-off infield single from the returning Nico Hoerner.
Javier Assad pitched very carefully with the wind howling out. However, Orlando Arcia got a hold of a mistake in the 2nd inning and pounded it out to left for a two-run homer to put Atlanta ahead. Chicago got those runs right back in the bottom of the frame with an RBI single from Mike Tauchman and a passed ball by catcher Travis d’Arnaud.
