WATCH: Cubs win on walk-off hit by Almora, Jr. |
CHICAGO — Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora, Jr., brought to a close to a grueling defensive battle against the Los Angeles Dodgers with a winning single in extra innings.
After Kris Bryant tripled to deep right to lead off the bottom of the 10th, Javier Baez was intentionally walked. However, that did not do the Dodgers any favors, as Almora, Jr., smacked a walk-off single to right field off Dodgers reliever Brock Stewart in the ensuing at-bat. Bryant scored with ease on the play, and Almora, Jr., was mobbed in celebration by his teammates on the infield dirt. Almora, Jr., went 2-5 at the dish on the night. The Cubs won 2-1 in 10 innings.
