Cubs players sprinted out of the dugout, closer Héctor Neris waiving a towel over his head, as Mike Tauchman rounded the bases after hitting a walk-off home run, the first of his career. Neris wiped off the plate with the towel, getting it ready for Tauchman to cross. Before he did, he spread his arms and looked up at the roaring crowd.
Just like that, the Cubs beat the White Sox 7-6 on Wednesday.
The game Wednesday played out much the same way as the series opener the day before.
