While Smyly settles in, Hoerner drives in winning run as Cubs edge Seattle in 10. McGrawDHSports Cubs
Seattle failed to arrive safely, while Cubs pinch-runner Nick Madrigal successfully stole third -- then scored the winning run on Nico Hoerner's RBI single, giving the Cubs a 3-2 win in 10 innings Monday at Wrigley Field.
In the eighth inning, with the Cubs leading 2-1, Seattle's Cooper Hummel swatted a leadoff double. He tried to reach third on a ground ball, though, and was thrown out by shortstop Dansby Swanson. Two similar plays with different results. "I came in the locker room and Yan just put it on my head and we've got some sort of celebratory hat, I guess," said Hoerner, who delivered the first walk-off hit of his MLB career."What a great game. It felt significant to win that game, just to know you can beat good teams in close games, do the extra-inning thing. All that matters."
Smyly's spring training was one to forget. Over 16 innings, he allowed 28 hits, 11 earned runs and 6 homers. His first regular-season outing at Cincinnati featured 9 hits and 6 earned runs. He surrendered a go-ahead 3-run homer to former Cubs farmhand Jason Vosler with two outs in the fifth inning. "To Yan and I in that moment, it just kind of seemed like they didn't want to hit the curve ball, they weren't trying to swing at it until 3-2," Smyly said."So it was like, 'OK, let's keep showing it and make them swing at it.'"
