The Cubs got out to a big lead against the Tigers at Comerica Park on Wednesday afternoon only to see it slip away on one swing of the bat. Chicago was undeterred by the sudden reversal of fortune, however, and scored late to win the game and the series.
The Cubs got on the board first against Tarik Skubal in the top of the 2nd inning with back-to-back doubles from Seiya Suzuki and Jeimer Candelario. Cody Bellinger increased the advantage to 3-0 with a two-run single in the 3rd.
Nick Madrigal knocked in another run with a hit in the top of the 4th inning and the North Siders were ahead 4-0.
