The Cubs were aiming for a sweep against the Rockies at a freezing cold and wet Wrigley Field Wednesday night. The home squad appeared to be on their way to another easy win but then Colorado stormed back to make it a game and forced Chicago to score one more run and hold on for an unexpectedly dramatic victory.
The Cubs got the offense started with a four-spot in the bottom of the 2nd inning punctuated by a two-run single from Seiya Suzuki. Suzuki increased the lead to 5-0 when he blasted a solo home run through the fierce winds in left-center.
