Another Walk-Off for Cubs, Who Beat Reds for 8th Straight Victory
Pete Crow-Armstrong homered in the ninth and Michael Busch walked with the bases loaded in the 10th as Chicago won its eighth straight.
On Wednesday, the Chicago Cubs defeated the Cincinnati Reds 7-6 in 10 innings, securing their eighth consecutive victory when Michael Busch drove in the winning run with a bases-loaded walk.
Trailing 6-4 after Cincinnati scored four times in the ninth, Chicago forced extra innings when outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong connected for a two-run homer to tie the game.
