atSaints at CubsThe Cubs scraped past the Saints 7-6 on a two-run single by Nwogu in the bottom of the 7th that scored Jones and Cowles. Alcántara went deep with two RBIs to pace Chicago's offense, while the home run advantage proved decisive in a game where Gallagher, the Saints' starter, was left with nothing to show for five and two-thirds strong innings and a single earned run. The teams return for another matchup on Thursday.

Ranked by win probability added: how far each player's plays moved this game's odds, not how their box-score line reads. A single with the bases loaded in the ninth outranks a home run in a blowout, because that is what actually decided it.
