[September 11, 2019]
Manuel Margot drew a four-pitch,
walk-off walk from Chicago Cubs reliever Steve Cishek with one out
in the 10th inning Tuesday night to give the host San Diego Padres a
9-8 victory.
The Padres held leads of 6-2 and 8-5, but the Cubs rallied to tie
the game in the eighth on the second homers of the game by both Kris
Bryant and Jason Heyward.
Cishek retired the first hitter he faced in the 10th before giving
up an infield single to Luis Urias. Cishek (3-6) then issued walks
to Austin Hedges and Travis Jankowski to load the bases before
failing to throw a strike to Margot.
Reliever Michel Baez (1-1) picked up his first major league win for
the Padres.
The loss cut the Cubs' lead over Milwaukee to one game in the race
for the National League's second wild card.
The Cubs tied the game at 8-8 in the top of the eighth as Bryant and
Heyward went deep off 20-year-old reliever Andres Munoz.

With the Cubs trailing 8-5, Anthony Rizzo opened the inning with a
single. Bryant, who received a cortisone injection in his knee
Monday, drove a 100 mph fastball 403 feet to left-center, giving the
University of San Diego graduate his third and fourth RBIs of the
game. Heyward hit his game-tying, 21st homer of the season two
hitters later.
The Cubs took a 2-0 lead in the second on Heyward's two-run shot
into the seats just beyond the leap of Padres left fielder Nick
Martini.
But the Padres jumped in front with five runs in a strange bottom of
the second.
Eric Hosmer and Wil Myers opened the inning with back-to-back
singles off Cubs starter Jose Quintana, and Hosmer scored on Urias'
one-out single. Hedges then singled to bring up pitcher Ronald
Bolanos with the bases loaded and one out.

Bolanos hit a grounder to Cubs second baseman Ben Zobrist, who, for
the second straight night, threw far wide of second on what should
have been a double-play grounder. Myers, Urias and Hedges all scored
on the two-base error as Zobrist's throw sailed into left. Bolanos
also received credit for his first professional RBI.
Bolanos moved to third on a single by Margot and scored on Martini's
sacrifice fly to left.
Ty France homered off Quintana with two outs in the third.
The Cubs scored one in the fourth on a pair of Bolanos-issued walks,
a wild pitch and Ian Happ's pinch-hit sacrifice fly. They pulled
within a run in the fifth when Bryant hit a two-run homer off
Bolanos.
The Padres added two runs in the seventh. Pinch hitter Greg Garcia
opened the inning with a single, and pinch runner Jankowski scored
on Margot's triple off the wall in straightaway center. Martini then
singled home Margot while extending his hitting streak to nine
games.
Quintana gave up six runs (four earned) on seven hits in three
innings. Bolanos allowe five runs on five hits and four walks with
five strikeouts in five innings.
