"The Cubs proceeded to take the lead on a bizarre bases-loaded sacrifice fly by De La Cruz in which the right fielder Suzuki fell down and allowed the runner on second base to score as well. Chicago erased the 6-4 deficit with a single swing in the bottom of the frame when Pete Crow-Armstrong lifted an opposite-field two-run homer to left off of Graham Ashcraft."
"Nothing changed until the top of the 9th when Corbin Martin had major issues trying to close the game for the Cubs, beginning with a home run by Spencer Steer. Martin then gave up consecutive singles and was replaced by Hoby Milner, who walked a batter and then surrendered the game-tying RBI single to JJ Bleday."
"Michael Busch played hero again in the bottom half drawing a walk from Brock Burke with the bags full, forcing home the winning run in a 7-6 Cubs victory."
