PHOENIX – The message for the Cubs coming out of the All-Star break was to take things one day at a time. While it’s one of baseball’s oldest cliches, you can’t blame them after the way the last month had gone.
That approach came in handy against the DBacks on Saturday as they trailed for much of the game. But with two outs in the ninth, the Cubs turned the game on its head. Not only did they keep their chances alive, they came from behind and scored three runs in the ninth, capped by Willson Contreras’ two-run homer in a 4-2 win.
