Seriously, can you take two more weeks of this pennant race? (And then hopefully four weeks just like it in October?)
The Cubs won their third in a row, 1-0 over the Reds Saturday afternoon at Wrigley Field. It was their third straight one-run game, too, and their fifth decision by one run over their last seven games going back to the second game of the doubleheader at Washington last Saturday.
And when Joe Maddon said he was going to use his bullpen depending on the situation, he wasn’t joking. He used three relievers to close out the Reds in the ninth.
