The Cubs squeaked out just enough to win last night, walking it off on a high chopper from Nico Hoerner in the 10th inning. It was shocking that the game ended up 4-3 on a night when the wind was howling out and seemingly should have carried every routine fly ball into the bleachers, so it’s funny that the winning hit never even made it past the infield grass.
It was Hoerner’s only hit in the game after three strikeouts in his first action since sitting for nearly a week with a tight hamstring, proof that sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good.
