Cubs first baseman Michael Busch rarely shows emotion. He, like many of his teammates, usually has a stoic demeanor.
But with the Cubs’ backs against the wall in a win-or-go-home Game 3 on Wednesday at Wrigley Field, Busch cracked a smile while rounding the bases after his leadoff home run in the first inning tied the score and kick-started the offense.
The Cubs’ four-run first inning propelled them to a 4-3 victory against the Brewers in the National League Division Series, forcing a Game 4 on Thursday.
Busch might be quiet — he doesn’t garner the headlines of Pete Crow-Armstrong and Kyle Tucker — but his game has been loud this postseason.
