Interesting that as a team supposedly built around pitching and defense, the Cubs are tied for 3rd in the NL for most errors per game, and 2nd in unearned runs allowed.

sloppy again tonight.  And Dansby trying to break a record in hitting into DPs

Yan grounds to shortstop and Morel comes in to make it 3-2, but the bases are now empty with one out.

Tauchman up, Mastrobuoni next, and Happ to follow if they can keep the inning going.  Would be *amazing* to win this game and keep pace.

And he strikes Wisdom out on a curveball to end the inning.

One last chance for the Cubs today, and it will be Happ, Bellinger, and Suzuki coming up next inning.

Ian Happ homers to tie the game!  3-3!!

Boushley gets three more outs to end it, including a called strikeout to Suzuki.

Got to hold them in the bottom half and then hope we can do something in the zombie runner extra innings.

Leiter gives up a hit to Caratini but erases him with a double play.  Now a walk to Yelich and Cuas is coming in.  Another guy we have been putting out there day after day.  Right now we just need him to get William Contreras out.

Dansby would be the ghost runner if we can get to the tenth.

Cuas gets the Cubs out of it.  I can't see it live, but it was pitcher to shortstop to first; maybe an attempt at a force out which Yelich beat, then a throw to first to get the batter which was in time? (Edit: it was a deflection off Cuas.  Great adjustment by Swanson!)

Whatever it was, we're going to extras.  We need this win.  Let's get it.

Morel steals second and they walk Tauchman to get to Wisdom.

Bases loaded, but there are two outs.  Break the game open, Patrick!
