Rapid Recap: Rockies beat Cubs 2-1 in 13 innings in Wild Card game

The Cubs season is over. For the Cubs bats, the season pretty much ended on Sunday.

In the longest Wild Card game in history, the Cubs fell to the Rockies 2-1 in the 13th inning. The Cubs only managed six hits and one run in 13 innings. In their final 22 innings, they managed just two runs.

Both teams emptied their benches for this game and in the end, it was the Rockies who were still standing when it all ended after midnight in Wrigley Field.

The game got off to a bad start when Jon Lester couldn’t find the zone early and walked Charlie Blackmon to lead off the game.
