Cubs 3, Mariners 2

OSS: Cubs blow a close game but walk it off in extras

Three up:

  1. Nick Madrigal had the biggest play of the game for the Cubs when, as the extra innings zombie runner, he stole third base with nobody out. Even more impressive was that he did it without the ball being delivered to the plate. Madrigal came home one batter later for the game-winning run.
  2. Drew Smyly bounced back from his sloppy season debut, striking out seven and allowing just one run in five innings of work. His silly knuckle curve was looking extra silly to the Mariners batters today.
