Cubs’ season ends after Wild, dramatic night
The Cubs called on starters Cole Hamels and Kyle Hendricks to back up Jon Lester, but they couldn’t stop the Rockies, who apparently don’t need much sleep. Playing their third game in as many days in their third different time zone, the Rockies edged the Cubs, 2-1, in 13 innings on Tuesday night to win a drama-filled National League Wild Card Game at Wrigley Field. Next stop for the Rockies is Miller Park, just 90 miles north, where they’ll face the Brewers in the NL Division Series, starting Thursday.
