I recently wrote that the Cubs have hit back-to-back home runs to win a game only twice in the entire Modern Era.
The first time was on April 16, 2004, when Sammy Sosa and Moises Alou homered to.
The Athletic published a fun story last month what author Marc Craig called "all-hitters": games in which a starting pitcher allowed a hit to every batter he faced.
Craig said there have been 358 s.
On June 30, Jason Heyward was the second Cub due up in the top of the ninth inning at Milwaukee.
But after the first batter flied out, Heyward did not come to the plate. Alec Mills pinch hit for.
I am on my way to Chicago for the game today, and I’m starting to get that annoying anxiety feeling – not about the game, itself, or even the pandemic stuff. Instead, I think it’s just that it’s my first time back to Wrigley Field in so long that I want it to be such a good experience – I’m almost certainly overhyping it in my own mind, and so you get that anxiety feeling that it’s gonna get mucked up somehow. I’ve been waiting for this for a year and a half, you know? Nothing mess it up for me!
