The Arizona Diamondbacks faced the Chicago Cubs in a wild baseball game at Wrigley Field that ended in a 13-11 victory for the Cubs. The Diamondbacks mounted an impressive comeback, scoring 10 runs in the eighth inning to take the lead. However, the Cubs responded with a six-run outburst in the bottom of the eighth to secure the win. The game featured a total of 21 runs, 20 hits, and five home runs in what can only be described as an hour of sheer baseball madness.
The Cubs’ offense was led by Ian Happ, who hit a grand slam in the seventh inning. In the eighth, Eugenio Suarez and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit crucial home runs for the Diamondbacks, but it was not enough to overcome the Cubs’ late surge. The Diamondbacks’ bullpen faltered, with Bryce Jarvis and Joe Mantiply giving up crucial runs to the Cubs.
Despite the Diamondbacks having a 99% chance of losing the game and a 96% chance of winning it in the eighth inning, the Cubs managed to come out on top. The game will be remembered as one of the most memorable what-ifs of the season, with both teams showcasing potent offenses and battling it out until the final out.
The two teams will face each other again in the season-series tiebreaker, where Zac Gallen will pitch for the Diamondbacks against Ben Brown for the Cubs. The game promises to be another exciting matchup between two National League postseason contenders.
