123

Hey hey! The first place Chicago Cubs did it again – downing the Reds 7-6 on Wednesday behind a nice start from Colin Rea (5.1 IP, 1 ER, 5 K), a game-tying home run from Pete Crow-Armstrong in the 9th, and a walk-off RBI walk in the 10th from Michael Busch!

The win is the Cubs' 14th in a row at Wrigley and eighth straight overall! They have won 18 of their last 21 games.

Ian Happ gave the North Siders the lead in the 1st with a two-run homer, his ninth of the season (.890 OPS). PCA went 2-for-3 on the night and Trent Thornton, in his first appearance as a Cub, pitched a scoreless 10th to pick up the win.
 
The series wraps up Thursday afternoon at the Friendly Confines before the Men in Blue kick off a nine-game road trip in Texas on Friday.
 
37 games down, 125 to go.
 
GO CUBS GO!
