MLB: Avila saves Cubs with walk-off hit against Blue Jays

Reigning MLB World Series champions the Chicago Cubs recovered a bit of last season's magic with a 6-5 walk-off win against the Toronto Blue Jays after 10 innings.

After allowing two runs in the top of the 10th inning, the Cubs looked poised to end their most current winning streak. But recently acquired Alex Avila saved the day.

Avila knocked in two runs with a walk-off single in the bottom of the 10th, plating Ben Zobrist and Javier Baez. Avila, who had come on as a pinch hitter earlier in the game, also drew a walk on Sunday.
