"Cincinnati got to starter Jameson Taillon in the opening inning with a solo home run by JJ Bleday. The big righty made his only other mistake at the end of his outing, surrendering a dinger to Nathaniel Lowe that gave the road team a 2-0 advantage in the 6th."
"Busch had the first of his huge hits for the Cubs off of Tony Santillan in the 8th inning, when he crushed a long game-tying solo home run to right field. After Cincinnati stranded their automatic runner in the top of the 10th, it was time for Chicago's first baseman to end it in the bottom half."
"Another very good all-around effort by the pitching staff allowed the offense to scratch out just enough against the Cincinnati bullpen to win. Taillon was solid and made sure no one was on base when he gave up the homers: 5.2 IP, 2 R, 5 H, 5 K, and 1 BB."
The Cubs secured a thrilling 3-2 victory against the Reds in extra innings at Wrigley Field. Cincinnati initially led with a solo home run by JJ Bleday and another by Nathaniel Lowe.
