The Cubs and the Reds had to wait out a three hour and 20 minute rain delay before their game began Saturday night, and the conditions played havoc with both teams. After a crazy first couple of innings, things calmed down a bit and Chicago was able to pull out a badly-needed win thanks to a dramatic home run from the struggling Dansby Swanson.
Starter Justin Steele ran into problems in the top of the 2nd with a single, a walk, and a hit-by-pitch to load the bases with one out. After a popup for the second out, the Cubs lefty appeared to escape the jam with a lazy fly ball to right off the bat of catcher Luke Maile.
