The Cubs were cruising until a couple of defensive errors in the fourth inning allowed the Jays to sneak a run in. After not being able to convert a fielder's choice and a throwing error by Dansby Swanson, the Jays cut our lead to 2-1. But Kyle Hendricks and our defense pulled it together quickly to end the threat.Solo Homers Galore!
The fifth inning was electrifying! First, Leo Jimenez tied the game with a solo homer for the Jays. But our Cubs were not to be outdone. Pete Crow-Armstrong and Miguel Amaya answered back with solo shots of their own to put us up 4-2. Back-to-back jacks!
