You know, I had almost forgotten how much fun watching a winning baseball game could be.
The Cubs went behind early, but fought their way back and ended their team-record 13-game home losing streak on a walkoff home run by Rafael Ortega, defeating the visiting Rockies 6-4.
Let’s start at the end of this game, since that’s where all the excitement came.
Jason Heyward began the ninth pinch-hitting for Andrew Romine and singled off Daniel Bard. FWIW, Heyward has actually been good as a PH this year: 4-for-8 with a home run. Anyway, Bard then struck out another pinch-hitter, Matt Duffy.
