Cubs fans’ cheers reached a fever pitch Monday night at Wrigley Field in the bottom of the seventh inning, when it briefly looked like the team had tied the game against the Reds.
A replay review, however, overturned the safe call at first: Dansby Swanson had stepped short of the base, and the inning was over.
“I don’t know if I’ve ever done that in my baseball life, to be honest,” Swanson said after the Cubs’ 3-2 loss to the Reds. “So just pretty unfortunate timing.”
Swanson’s two-run home run in the third inning accounted for all of the Cubs’ scoring.
