The Chicago Cubs will host playoff baseball with fans in the seats at Wrigley Field for the first time since 2018 after clinching home-field advantage in the Wild Card Series with a 7-3 win on Saturday.
The offense was paced by first baseman Michael Busch, who homered twice, tripled and doubled, driving in four as part of a 4-for-4 afternoon at the yard. He came to the plate in the bottom of the eighth, needing just a single to complete the Cubs' second cycle of the season (joining Carson Kelly) - but instead, St. Louis Cardinals manager Oli Marmol intentionally walked him, despite being down by four late.
