The Chicago Cubs defense saved the game in the ninth inning of Friday’s 3-2 win against the Cardinals, highlighted by Mike Tauchman’s game-ending home-run-robbing catch.
ST. LOUIS — Only one thought ran through Adbert Alzolay’s head as he watched his last pitch fly toward the grass beyond Busch Stadium’s center-field wall.Alzolay located his 1-2 fastball up and away to St. Louis Cardinals pinch-hitting lefty Alec Burleson, exactly where the Cubs closer wanted it with two outs. Burleson instead barreled the ball to dead center, sending Mike Tauchman drifting toward the yellow 400-foot marker emblazoned on the wall.
Cubs center fielder Mike Tauchman, left, is congratulated by Miles Mastrobuoni after making a catch at the wall on a fly ball from the Cardinals Alec Burleson to end the game Friday in St. Louis. The Cubs won 3-2. The stellar double play Hoerner turned with Dansby Swanson with two on and nobody out in the ninth set up Tauchman’s heroics. Hoerner made his spin-turn and throw look easy as his momentum took him away from Swanson at second base on Brendan Donovan grounder. It was the hardest-hit out of the game at 104.4 mph off Donovan’s bat.
