In their first foray into extra innings in 2023, the Cubs got themselves in trouble in the top of the 10th, got out of it, then won quickly in the bottom of the inning on a line-drive single by Nico Hoerner, defeating the visiting Mariners 3-2. It was the team’s first walkoff win since August 20, 2022. And, courtesy of BCB’s JohnW53:
Monday night’s walk-off is Cubs’ 952nd since 1876, their 903rd at home and their 748th at Wrigley Field. The Cubs’ only previous walk-off vs. the Mariners was by 7-6, on July 31, 2016, on Jon Lester’s one-out squeeze bunt in the 12th.
