Javier Baez steals home again as Cubs rally for 6th straight comeback win

CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs won their sixth straight game Wednesday, all in come-from-behind fashion, while tallying five or more runs in their eighth straight contest. But it was infielder Javier Baez who continued to steal the show -- literally.

In the 5-2 win over the Detroit Tigers, Baez stole home for the second time this season, tying the game 2-all in the bottom of the fourth.

"It never gets old watching him play baseball," manager Joe Maddon said after the game.

Baez is the fifth player in the past decade to steal home twice in one season and the second Cubs player in the expansion era (since 1961) with multiple steals of home in the same year.
