Tied at 2-2 in the seventh, the Washington Nationals loaded the bases with two down and got back-to-back hits by Juan Soto, who drove in one with an infield single, and Asdrúbal Cabrera, whose two-run hit to right made it 5-2 in the visitor’s favor in Wrigley Field.
Hunter Strickland gave up a solo homer by Victor Caratini in the seventh, however, and then Fernando Rodney gave up a two-run home run by Kyle Schwarber in the eighth, as the Cubs tied things up at 5-5.
