Wrigley Walk-Off: Carson Kelly Caps Epic Cubs Comeback
Down 6-1, the Cubs clawed — then roared. Ian Happ homered and mashed three hits, Dansby Swanson drove in a pair, and Carson Kelly owned the late innings: a two-run blast in the eighth to tie, then the 10th-inning walk-off liner for a 7-6 victory over Atlanta. Speed and savvy from Seiya Suzuki in extras set the table, and Andrew Kittredge slammed the door for the win.
Atlanta’s Michael Harris II drove in four and kept hammering his post-break tear, but Chicago’s bullpen bent without breaking long enough for the bats to wake the ivy. The North Siders improved to 23-45 when the opponent scores first — a number that suddenly looks a lot less scary when the late-inning heartbeat is this loud.
