Cubs rally for 4 runs in 9th, beat Giants 6-5 to win NLDS
SAN FRANCISCO — Kris Bryant tossed his glove high in the air, Jake Arrieta jumped over the dugout railing and the rest of the Chicago Cubs rushed to join the celebration.
Pure revelry and a sigh of relief, all at once.
World Series favourites since opening day, the Cubs took another step in their championship chase Tuesday night by rallying for four runs in the ninth inning of Game 4 to beat San Francisco 6-5 and win their NL Division Series.
“You could see it coming. You could see little signs. We’ve done it before and the guys, we don’t quit,” Cubs centre fielder Dexter Fowler said. “It’s a little more special doing it here. They for sure were thinking that they won it. But we play 27 outs and we don’t give up until we win.”
