With the game in their favor 5-2 in the ninth inning, everything seemed calm for Chicago in search of victory, but the Blue Jays rebelled in the chapter by stepping on the plate three times to take the game to extra innings.
A total of six Cubs pitchers took to the box at Wrigley Field, as after Kyle Hendricks started five innings, five pitchers saw action with Hector Neris allowing all three runs in the Blue Jays’ ninth.
In the tenth, Tyson Miller gave up a scoreless run and his team backed him up with a run that ended the visitors’ hopes and thus archived Chicago’s 60th win of the tournament and got closer to parity in the average of games won, also showing 63 losses.
On offense, left fielder Ian Happ, with two hits, including a home run, stood out for Chicago, as did fourth hitter Cody Bellinger, who drove in two runs.
