Last night had a playoff-type feel to it, ending as a 1-0 win for the Cubs in 11 innings.
It was the perfect ending for the final regular-season game at Wrigley Field in 2015: a walk-off home run off the bat of Chris Denorfia. The walk-off was the Cubs’ 13th of the year. So. Much. Fun.
The Cubs move to 3.5 behind the Pirates, who lost in a close game to the Cardinals last night. The Wild Card one-game playoff is still looking most likely to be in Pittsburgh, but baseball can be a strange game sometimes.
