Cubs 'turn page' on Suzuki's error, gear up for wild-card battle

ATLANTA -- It might go down as the play that could cost the Chicago Cubs a playoff spot in the National League.

With two outs and two on for the Atlanta Braves in the eighth inning on Tuesday and the Cubs nursing a 6-5 lead, right fielder Seiya Suzuki missed a routine fly ball off the bat of catcher Sean Murphy, allowing the tying and eventual winning runs to score.

Afterward, Suzuki said the lights at Truist Park played a part in the error, but he refused to use that as an excuse.
