CHICAGO -- In a year which has been lacking dramatic, late inning victories by the first place Chicago Cubs, Sunday night's finish more than made up for the deficit in Chicago's 7-6 win over the Seattle Mariners in 12 innings.
Consider:
The Cubs were down 6-0 after three innings thanks to a dismal start by newcomer Brian Matusz. He gave up three, 2-run home runs forcing social media to question the sanity of Joe Maddon, Theo Epstein and anyone else associated with the move. "The only thing that went wrong (tonight) is Brian had a tough start," Maddon said afterwards.
