Cubs pull off one of the wildest comebacks in MLB history

After another run scored, the lineup turned back over to Grichuk with two men on and two outs. Grichuk bounced a breaking ball toward third base that eluded the glove of infielder Gage Workman to give the Diamondbacks an 8-7 lead.

Gurriel then extended the lead to 11-7 with a three-run homer, giving Arizona its 10th run of the inning before the third out.

The Cubs saw the D-Backs’ 10-spot and put up a huge crooked number of their own in the bottom of the 8th. Chicago batters Nico Hoerner and Pete Crow-Armstrong started the inning with a hit by pitch and a walk, respectively. Catcher Carson Kelly cut the lead to one with a three-run blast to left field.

The scene was set for Cubs slugger Kyle Tucker to play hero with a man on and one out. The three-time All-Star rocked a first-pitch sinker to right field to give Chicago a 12-11 lead.

Seiya Suzuki tacked on an insurance run with a solo shot right after Tucker. The Cubs won the contest 13-11 despite giving up double-digit runs in the 8th inning.

Chicago became the first team in 113 years to allow 10 runs in a single inning after the third and still win the game. The 16-run eighth was also the highest-scoring inning in Wrigley Field’s over 100-year history.
