If only for a night, Cubs' swagger is back as Chicago avoids NLCS sweep

CHICAGO -- For one night -- and perhaps one night only -- the Chicago Cubs brought their swagger to Wrigley Field and in the process avoided the end of their season with a thrilling 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 4 of the NLCS.

The Cubs are still down 3-1 in the best-of-seven series but when ultra-confident hurler Jake Arrieta is doing his thing on the mound, and while flashy hitters like Javier Baez and Willson Contreras are smacking home runs in style, it provides at least a little hope the defending champions can make a series of it.
