Cub Tracks kicks it up

Well, simCubs fans ... it looked dark there for a while. Jon Lester the chicken man was on the verge of getting tagged with a loss in one of the best -pitched games he had this year, but the Cubs tied the game late on a Kyle Schwarber base hit and Anthony Rizzo was kind enough to offer us all deliverance in the 11th when David Bote whacked a ball up the chute with two outs and scored easily on Rizzo’s drive into he left-field corner. Dan Winkler, splendid as usual, absorbed the W in a relief role.
