Chicago scored first, on a Kris Bryant solo shot to left field in the top of the third inning. Starlin Castro equalized the score in the bottom of the inning for the Miami Marlins, knocking in Lewis Brinson with a single to left field.
The clubs then went back-and-forth for many hours without a player crossing the plate. Miguel Rojas collected his first career walk-off hit in the bottom of the 17th, scoring Brian Anderson from third base on a single to center field. At times it seemed like the game would never end, then I realized it wasn’t very long at all in relative terms.
