The 2013 Cubs were not a very good team. This, you surely know. Nevertheless, they had a handful of shining moments and this is one of them.
This game was the last of a four-game series against the Reds, and the Cubs had lost the first three. Thus entering this game against the Reds, who were the defending N.L. Central champions, they were in last place in the division and 16 games behind the division-leading Cardinals.
Nevertheless, 28,986 paid to see the Cubs and Reds on a nice Thursday afternoon in June.
Jeff Samardzija started for the Cubs and Mat Latos got the call for the Reds.
