The Colorado Rockies and the Chicago Cubs played a wild game indeed in the National League Wild Card game. It went 13 innings and was a nail-biter from start to finish. Ultimately the Rockies scratched out a late run and won 2-1 to advance to the National League Division Series.
A one game sample is going to be random and unpredictable. On the one hand, a low scoring game between these two mediocre offenses was predictable. On the other hand, a wild extra innings game was not, and the hero most certainly was not.
