This is the stuff that happens to good teams.
Bad teams waste amazing plays. Bad teams allow blown saves to sink them. Bad teams look for excuses. The Cubs could have done all of that tonight, almost did, in fact. But this isn’t a bad team and we saw why not in the 10th inning of a 2-2 game that probably should have ended in regulation.
Hector Rondon had an interesting go of things Sunday afternoon, loading the bases before striking out three straight to end the game and seal a sweep of the Giants.
