Waldschmidt Walk-Off Heroics Seal D-backs Win | MLB News

Ryan Waldschmidt delivered a walk-off heroics in the ninth, crushing a two-run homer to lift the Diamondbacks to a 5-4 thriller over the Cubs — and keep Arizona one game behind the Padres in the wild-card race. Down 4-3 with two outs, Waldschmidt’s rookie power sent the ball soaring into left field after a clutch steal by Jose Fernandez. The D-backs rallied from a four-run deficit, scoring twice in the eighth to force extra innings, then capped it off with Waldschmidt’s second walk-off blast of the season. Despite a dominant seven-inning shutout from Cubs’ Clay Holmes, Arizona’s late surge proved too much. Up next: Eduardo Rodriguez vs. Matthew Boyd.
