Chicago Cubs Roar Back, Walk Off Dodgers in Extras

Tuesday was also Crow-Armstrong's seventh multi-hit game of the year, and he looks very comfortable at the plate lately. 

Things looked secure until Brad Keller took the mound in the seventh, when he loaded the bags, surrendered five runs, and gave up the lead heading into the final innings. Luckily, the Cubs tapped into their clutch-hitting magic once again. Ian Happ set the table for yet another timely Kyle Tucker home run to put the Cubs within one run. 

Miguel Amaya delivered the biggest swing of his career in the bottom of the ninth inning, sending a 388 foot home run into the basket in left field with two outs to tie the game at 10. 

Two shutdown innings from newcomer Gavin Hollowell, who struck out Shohei Ohtani the same day he was called up from Iowa, and another from Porter Hodge in the tenth set the Cubs up for victory in the bottom of the 10th. 

With speedy pinch runner Vidal Bruján at second base, Happ jumped on the first pitch to drive in the winning run, collecting his fourth hit of the game in the process. 

It was an incredible victory and a testament to the 2025 Cubs' grit and determination to win. The Cubs also tied up their series with the defending World Series Champions with the win, with both teams besting each other three times this year. The winner of Wednesday night's contest will determine who takes the season series, and the Cubs will have southpaw Matthew Boyd on the mound. Boyd logged a quality start against the Dodgers in Los Angeles on April 11.
