Cubs Rally to Defeat Blue Jays with Late Heroics
On Thursday, the Chicago Cubs triumphed over the Toronto Blue Jays with a final score of 3-2, thanks to a dramatic ninth-inning home run by Alex Bregman and a pivotal error in the 11th inning.
With two outs in the ninth, Pete Crow-Armstrong hit a single, setting the stage for Bregman's two-run homer off Louis Varland, tying the game at 2-2. This marked Bregman's 12th home run of the season and denied pitcher Dylan Cease a win despite his impressive seven-inning performance.
In the 11th inning, Crow-Armstrong's single nearly clinched the game, but a play at the plate resulted in an out. After an intentional walk to Seiya Suzuki, Crow-Armstrong stole third base, and an errant throw allowed him to score the winning run. Trent Thornton earned the win for the Cubs, while Brendon Little took the loss for the Blue Jays, who had earlier taken a 2-0 lead with a series of hits from Alejandro Kirk and others.
