Missed Balk Costs Cubs Key Run | MLB News

The Cubs’ heartbreaking 2-0 loss to the Diamondbacks hinged on a missed balk call in the sixth inning — when Pete Crow-Armstrong broke for home and pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez appeared to step off the rubber, leaving Crow-Armstrong stranded. The crew chief later admitted it should’ve been called, with Crow-Armstrong and manager Craig Counsell both furious over the oversight. That error directly set up Jordan Lawlar’s go-ahead homer, despite Matthew Boyd’s stellar pitching. Still, the Cubs remain atop the NL Wild Card race with a two-game lead as they head home after a brutal August road trip — the grind isn’t over yet.
