Wins Until the Winning the World Championship

Cubs 8 - Dodgers 4

Only three times in postseason history has a pinch hitter come off the bench to hit a grand slam. One of those was Miguel Montero during Game One of the 2016 NLCS!

After getting out to an early 3-0 lead, the Cubs let the Dodgers tie it up in the 8th. With two outs and the bases loaded, Miggy was down in the count 0-2 when he saw a slider hang and became the hero Chicago never expected.

Dexter Fowler capped it off the next at bat with another home run, and Rondon saved Chapman's win.

This is already an amazing NLCS, and it's only Game One!

The 2016 Chicago Cubs are 7 wins from making history, and we will be counting down with them. Join us each game as we live and die with every pitch.
