Ian Happ was a rookie when the Cubs beat the Nationals in the NLDS in 2017.
Now a veteran of nine North Side seasons, Happ’s big swing Thursday put the Cubs in position to win an NLDS for the first time since.
The left fielder’s two-out, three-run homer in the bottom of the first inning sent Wrigley Field into a frenzy and was the biggest blow in a 6-0 win that sent this NLDS between the Cubs and Brewers to a winner-take-all fifth game.
The Cubs are still facing elimination, but now so are the Brewers after a swing in momentum between the division foes.
