• Red Sox 5, Cubs 4: So close

Brian Fluharty-USA TODAY Sports The Cubs tied the game late, but could not convert it into victory. If Dansby Swanson can hold on to that little floater into left field, the Cubs probably turn a double play in the bottom of the ninth, because Jarren Duran had strayed from third base. In that case the game probably goes to extra innings. But he didn’t. Don’t blame Dansby, that would have be...2024
