Bote stings Nats again as Cubs grind out win
Bote's go-ahead double in 10th WASHINGTON -- In his first at-bat of the night, David Bote doubled to the right-center-field gap to drive in the go-ahead run in the 10th inning and give the Cubs a 6-4 triumph over the Nationals on Thursday night at Nationals Park.
Mired in a 2-for-24 slump, Bote drove another stake into the heart of Washington, this time by hammering a 100.3-mph fastball from Nationals reliever Jimmy Cordero just past the outstretched glove of center fielder Victor Robles to score Albert Almora Jr., who had doubled with one out. It was Bote's second big hit against Washington, as he blasted a walk-off grand slam against the Nationals on Aug. 12 at Wrigley Field.
