Ryan Waldschmidt hits game-winning 2-run HR with 2 outs in 9th to send D-backs past Cubs 5-4
In a dramatic game on Tuesday night, Arizona Diamondbacks pinch-hitter Ryan Waldschmidt hit a game-winning, two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning, sending the Diamondbacks past the Chicago Cubs 5-4. The rally came after the D-backs trailed 4-3 in the ninth, with Tim Tawa starting the decisive play with a one-out walk from Jacob Webb.
Waldschmidt, a rookie, then launched the walk-off homer over the left field fence, setting off a raucous celebration. This win keeps the Diamondbacks one game behind the San Diego Padres for the final NL wild-card spot.
