As you might imagine, I had an entire recap written, or nearly so, about how the Cubs couldn’t afford too many more starts like this from Ben Brown, and the team went into the sixth inning trailing 8-3.
Eight unanswered runs made me proverbially rip up all that electronic text, and instead the Cubs had yet another incredible come-from-behind win, 11-8 over the Reds, in so doing taking the series.
