The Chicago Cubs (12-9) and Washington Nationals (9-11) continued their trend of extra-inning battles on Saturday. For a second straight game, a dramatic home run gave Chicago the win at Nationals Park, via MLB The Show 20.
The world champions struck first against Kyle Hendricks in the 2nd inning, when a walk and a single put two men on base for Victor Robles. The young outfielder jumped on a two-seam fastball for a three-run homer that shortened Hendricks’ appearance. The Professor worked very hard, but got an early hook in the 4th inning.
