This game might have saved the Cubs’ season.
All right, maybe I’m being a bit overdramatic about the Cubs’ pulsating 4-3 win over the Cardinals on a gorgeous afternoon at Wrigley Field, but I’m pretty sure of this: Had they blown a 4-1 seventh-inning lead and lost this game, that probably would have put the “For Sale” signs up in Jed Hoyer’s office.
Instead, the team lives for another day. And who knows? Maybe this one sends the Cubs on a winning streak.
The Cardinals scored first, on three straight singles in the second inning that loaded the bases, followed by an RBI ground out.
