For the first time since 2003, the Chicago Cubs are in the National League Championship Series. The wild-card winners booked their place in the NLCS after beating the St. Louis Cardinals 6-4 in Game 4 of the National League Division Series.
Surprisingly, this is the first postseason series the Cubs have won at Wrigley Field, per MLB on Twitter.
In Game 3, the Cubs hit an MLB postseason record six home runs. They only received half that total Tuesday night, but it proved more than enough to eliminate their division rivals.
Javier Baez got the fun started in the bottom of the second with a three-run home run that gave Chicago a 4-2 lead.
