Overview
- The Cubs, who won 7-6 Wednesday in 10 innings, clinched it on Michael Busch’s bases-loaded walk for their eighth straight victory.
- Pete Crow-Armstrong tied the game with a two-run homer in the ninth before Busch’s plate appearance produced the series’ third straight walk-off.
- With first base open, Brock Burke intentionally walked Seiya Suzuki, then missed with a 3-1 sinker to force home the winner before a crowd of 34,143.
- The result extended Chicago’s home winning streak to 14, the club’s longest at Wrigley Field since 2008, and dropped Cincinnati to six losses in a row.
- The three-game walk-off run is MLB’s first since the 2019 Dodgers pulled off the same feat, according to Yahoo Sports.
