Cubs 9, Rockies 8: Rally falls short as the Rockies cannot contain David Bote

In a foggy, back-and-forth affair at Wrigley Field, the Rockies ultimately came up short. Both German Márquez and Yu Darvish were cruising through five innings, but David Bote hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the fifth to break up the shutout and it was all downhill from there.

German Márquez was cruising through five innings, pitching to the minimum through then. However, the wheels started to fall off in the bottom of the fifth. After recording two straight outs, he gave up back to back singles to Wilson Contreras and Jason Heyward.
