With a 4-3 win against the Brewers on Wednesday, the Cubs proved there’s no place like home.
Back at Wrigley Field for Game 3 of the National League Division Series, the Cubs extended their postseason run at least another game, trailing the Brewers 2-1 in the best-of-five series.
The Cubs were expecting an advantage under volatile Wrigley Field elements. But the shadows and wind betrayed the home team in the first inning.
Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon had already gotten himself into a bind. One out into the inning, he had runners on first and second, courtesy of a double and a walk, with William Contreras up to bat.
