Hoerners bases-loaded walk in the 10th gives the Cubs a 2-1 victory over the Diamondback
CHICAGO (AP) Nico Hoerner doubled and scored the tying run in the ninth inning, then walked with the bases loaded in the 10th to give the Chicago Cubs a 2-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. Chicago entered the ninth with just one hit before Hoerner sparked the late rally as the Cubs avoided the sweep. I dont like to change my at-bats too much in the late opposition, but you do know that if you get on base, youve got the guys on our team who have had our best at-bats right behind you, and I have a lot of trust in them, Hoerner said. (Michael) Busch has been so consistent for a long time now, Seiya (Suzuki) as well, so a lot of trust in them and I felt like they had a great chance to try and win the game. Cubs All-Star pitcher Shota Imanaga had a career-high 10 strikeouts and gave up two hits over seven innings, including a home run to Eugenio Surez. Hes always staying calm, hes always stable, he always creates a really good game, Suzuki of Imanaga through an interpreter. Weve had a couple games where we werent able to hit in those situations, but he pitched amazing today. The Cubs prevailed after Brandon Pfaadts dominant day on the mound. The Guy Lafleur Jersey Arizona ace struck out seven and allowed just one hit. Hoerner doubled down the first-base line to lead off the bottom of the ninth and scored on Suzukis one-out single. Hctor Neris (8-2) picked up the win for Chicago with a scorele s 10th, while Joe Mantiply (3-2) took the lo s. Imanaga opened the game by striking out all three batters in the first and didnt allow a hit until Randal Grichuks single with two outs in the sixth. In the fifth, Imanaga got his eighth strikeout on a low splitter that fooled Arizonas Jose Herrera, who swung so hard that his bat flew down the third-base line. During spring training, I talked with Dansby (Swanson), (Craig) Counsell, (Justin) Steele about how to deal with pre sure, Imanaga said through an interpreter. I didnt really feel pre sure out there and talking to my teammates, talking to my coaches about it, I think that helped. Surez broke the tie in the seventh, sending a 2-1 pitch over the wall in left field.
