There is so much to unpack from last night’s 6-5 walk-off win in extra innings. The Cincinnati Reds improved to 7-13 in one-run games and gained a game on the division-leading Chicago Cubs. If you’re a baseball fan, this is the type of game that makes you come back to the ballpark.
The Cincinnati Reds got out to the early lead against the Chicago Cubs when Eugenio Suarez laced a double down the left field line in the bottom the first inning to score Nick Senzel. The 1-0 lead would not hold, as Addison Russell took Sonny Gray deep in his first at-bat to give the Cubs a 2-1 lead.
