We're proving to ourselves we can win a number of different ways. That's one of the first times all year we've been punched back like that late in the game, and for our guys to respond and put runs up late, that's huge.
While the game didn't have the same drama as the '16 Series, won in seven games by the Cubs with a dramatic 8-7 win in Game 7 after Davis' improbable homer off Aroldis Chapman and a rain delay that may have saved Chicago, it had plenty of momentum-swinging moments.
Nick Sandlin (7-0) got the last two outs in the eighth before Vogt brought in closer Emmanuel Clase for the third straight game. Clase set down the Cubs in order for his league-leading 36th save.
