WR Grace cuts through the Dodgers in top of the seventh like an industrial solvent. But the Nats trail this game 3-1. Brandon Morrow is on for the Dodgers, bottom seven. Ryan Zimmermann sends one deep, to the warning track, Puig has it. Werth grounds into a double play to end the inning. Cradebacle Part II The Cubs are up 3-0, bottom 7, one out, bases loaded. I text you about it. You say you turned it off. If they lose here the Cardinals are five games out of first. A Rockies collapse coupled with a Brewers collapse becomes the only maybe sliver of light. Marp homered but Pham went backward-looking K. Headed to the last of the eighth, it's 3-1 Cubs.
My account of the the day's premier baseball game.
