Cubs 4, Reds 1: Hey! Hey! for Jason Heyward

In the bottom of the 10th inning of a well-pitched, low-scoring game, Patrick Wisdom of the Cubs had singled Willson Contreras, who was the Manfred man, to third base.

Nobody out, Jason Heyward the scheduled hitter. Reds manager David Bell decided to place his defense in a five-man infield, two-man outfield setup.

The third walkoff home run of J-Hey’s career won the game for the Cubs 4-1 as they took the three-game series from the Reds, who fell out of the second wild-card spot as a result of this game and the Padres’ win over the Angels.
