Diamondbacks and Cubs Prepare for Series Finale After Dramatic Win
The Chicago Cubs and Arizona Diamondbacks, each with 40 come-from-behind victories, are set to conclude their three-game series on Wednesday in Phoenix. The Diamondbacks secured a dramatic 5-4 victory on Tuesday, thanks to Ryan Waldschmidt's two-out, two-run walk-off homer.
Waldschmidt's homer marked a historic achievement, making him the first rookie to hit two walk-off homers in a single month while his team was trailing. The upcoming matchup will feature Cubs' Matthew Boyd and Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez, both of whom are key players in the National League playoff race.
The Cubs currently lead the NL wild card race, three games ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies, while the Diamondbacks are just one game behind the San Diego Padres for the final wild-card spot. Arizona's manager praised his team's resilience, highlighting their ability to rally despite being down 4-0 through seven innings.
