Votto's historic streak comes to an end with Cubs walk-off dash

Reigning MLB World Series champions the Chicago Cubs edged the Cincinnati Reds 7-6 in a walk-off victory, while the Colorado Rockies humbled the Atlanta Braves 17-2.

When Javier Baez made a mad dash home on Reds reliever Blake Wood's wild pitch in the bottom of the ninth he set the Wrigley Field crowd on fire on Wednesday.

Not only did Baez's run give the Cubs a walk-off win but it also kept Joey Votto from tying a record that has not been touched since 1948.

Votto came into the game having reached base at least twice in 20 consecutive games.
