The Cubs beat the Reds tonight 5-4 in dramatic fashion. Trailing 4-3 going to the bottom of the ninth, Pete Crow-Armstrong led off with a triple and after a Dansby Swanson strikeout, Nico Hoerner got him home on a sacrifice fly. Then Michael Conforto pinch hit off the bench and knocked it into the left-center field stands for his first career walk-off home run.
