The roar was deafening, as Cubs fans twirled blue “W” towels over their heads and catcher Carson Kelly rounded the bases.
In the fifth inning of the Cubs’ 3-1 win over the Padres in Game 1 of a best-of-three wild-card series, Cubs fans had a lot to cheer about.
Kelly’s go-ahead solo homer followed Seiya Suzuki’s game-tying blast, which accounted for the Cubs’ first run of the game.
It was just the fourth time in postseason history that the Cubs have hit back-to-back home runs, according to mlb.com.
