42

The Cubs managed their MLB leading 36th come from behind victory yesterday after Rizzo battled in  a 13 pitch AB against Nationals starter Jeremy Hellickson to earn a walk, and then Javy and Zo followed on back to back 4 pitch walks.  A LHP was then summoned to face Jason Heyward who immediately smacked a two RBI single past a diving second baseman to tie the game.  Rizzo would later take his third walk of the day with the bases loaded to give the Cubs a 3-2 lead and that's all they'd need as Pedro Strop came in to convert his 9th save in 12 chances.  Play resumes at 3:05 CST.
