Cubs in playoffs, walk off to hold Central lead

The Cubs finally figured out how to score against the Pirates and punched a ticket to the postseason on Wednesday night. But they needed some help from the Brewers. Chicago’s next step is to repeat as National League Central champions, although they will need to straighten out the bullpen first. Terrance Gore scored on Albert Almora Jr.’s RBI single with two outs in the 10th inning to give the Cubs a 7-6 walk-off victory over the Pirates at Wrigley Field.
