CHICAGO – When Cincinnati Reds reliever Jackson Stephens saw his final pitch fly above the strike zone, he turned and appeared to shout at himself.
With the bases loaded in the 10th inning Sunday, Chicago Cubs third baseman David Bote drew a walk-off walk to hand the Reds a 6-5 loss at Wrigley Field in front of 38,655 fans.
As Cubs players ran to Bote and poured a cooler of sunflower seeds over his head, the Reds walked off the field with their second loss in the three-game series.
In both games, the Reds held leads in the sixth inning but couldn't hold off the Cubs' powerful lineup.
