Cubs' Comeback Win Sparks Playoff Momentum

0:00On April 17, the Chicago Cubs finally broke through with a thrilling comeback win against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday afternoon. Down five nothing early and facing a sweep after dropping the first two games, they rallied for a 7-6 victory, capped by Carson Kelly's walkoff. Single in the knife. They chipped away with key hits and three runs in the final two innings, turning a potential disaster into a statement at home against the divisional. Still they should have handled easily. Pitchard Jameson Taylon captured the dugout by perfectly, saying the team never wavered and passed the baton all game. He felt a real belief they were going to win. Something missing earlier this season. Now the Cubs head into a huge week facing the Philadelphia Phillies on the road, then the New York Metz back home teams, they'll battle for playoff, spots later. This grit could spark the momentum they need to shake off the slow start and attack April like contenders. That wraps MLB news today brought to you with AI. I'm Corey with the story.
