This game started feeling very, very familiar in the late innings. The Cubs took a ninth-inning lead after playing very well against a tough Brewers starter. Then David Robertson came on to finish things off in the bottom of the ninth.
Monday, that didn’t work — but in the series finale Wednesday afternoon, it did. Robertson dispatched the Brewers 1-2-3 and thus P.J. Higgins’ RBI double in the top of the ninth won the game for the Cubs 2-1.
Higgins was not the only Cubs hero in this one, though, so let’s head back to the beginning of the game.
