The Cubs sure don’t make it easy on themselves.
Holding a two-run lead in the ninth inning with the Blue Jays down to their last out with runners on second and third base, reliever Hector Neris allowed a game-tying triple by George Springer. After Neris struck out center fielder Daulton Varsho, the 39,614 fans at Wrigley Field booed the reliever. He allowed three runs in the inning.
However, designated hitter Seiya Suzuki salvaged the game with a 10th-inning walk-off single, the first of his career, in Friday’s 6-5 win over the Blue Jays.
