It was a boring, disappointing game…until it wasn’t. The Cubs scored first to take a 1-0 lead, then gave the run right back and didn’t score again for five innings in keeping with their season-long MO. I mean, no way could they do anything with all-world closer Devin Williams on the mound going for his 19th save. But after two days of giving away leads, the Cubs owed their opponents a little of their own medicine.
Trailing 3-1 in the top of the 9th, Cody Bellinger led off with a blooper that dropped between three defenders.
