Matt Shaw's walk-off single pushes Cubs past Rockies in extras
May 28 - Rookie Matt Shaw blooped a walk-off single to right field in the 11th inning Tuesday night to propel the Chicago Cubs to a 4-3 victory over the visiting Colorado Rockies.
After Brenton Doyle's RBI groundout gave the Rockies a 3-2 lead in the top of the 11th, Michael Busch tied the game with an RBI single off Tyler Kinley (0-2), who then walked Nico Hoerner and surrendered Shaw's game-winning single.
Chris Flexen (3-0) pitched the 10th and 11th innings for the Cubs, allowing an unearned run on one hit. Cade Horton started for Chicago, surrendering two runs on four hits and one walk across six innings, striking out six. Ian Happ and Kyle Tucker each tallied a pair of hits for the Cubs, who have won six of their last seven games.
German Marquez allowed two earned runs on seven hits and a walk in six innings for the Rockies, striking out six. Doyle homered and drove in two for Colorado, which has lost nine of its last 10 games.
After Horton retired the first nine Colorado batters he faced, the Cubs struck first in the third. Shaw led off with a single and stole second before Happ singled and Tucker walked to load the bases. Seiya Suzuki drove in the game's first run with a single to left and Pete Crow-Armstrong doubled Chicago's lead with an RBI groundout.
Colorado cut its deficit in half in the fourth as Ryan McMahon's two-out single scored Jordan Beck, who had been hit by a pitch and stole second.
The Rockies evened the score in the seventh on Doyle's fifth home run of the season. Caleb Thielbar then relieved Horton, who struck out Tyler Freeman and retired Michael Toglia before allowing Kyle Farmer's single and Adael Amador's walk. Ryan Brasier relieved Thielbar and retired Beck to end the inning.
Jake Bird entered for Marquez in the bottom of the seventh, working a scoreless inning.
Freeman worked a one-out single against Ryan Pressly in the ninth but was caught stealing by catcher Reese McGuire. Toglia then walked, but Pressly induced Farmer's inning-ending groundout.

LeBron James posts stunned one-world reaction to Tyrese Haliburton's devastating NBA Finals injury
An absolutely catastrophic injury to Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton in Game 7 of the NBA Finals has fans and players worried for his future beyond this game. Haliburton went down in the first quarter of Sunday night's do-or-die, championship-deciding game with a lower leg injury. It comes after the star sat a good portion of Game 6 after suffering a quad strain in the same leg. The guard was carried off the court and to the locker room and will not return in a devastating blow to Indiana's hopes of winning a first NBA title. It was later confirmed by the star's father, John Haliburton, that Tyrese had suffered an Achilles injury. In the aftermath of the injury, NBA stars like LeBron James tweeted their shock. James, the four-time NBA champion, simply tweeted out an expletive on Sunday night along with face-palm and prayer hand emojis. LeBron was far from the only sports star to react to the injury in real time. Four players that Haliburton's Pacers eliminated in the playoffs reacted as well. Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell, who was eliminated by Indiana in the second round, tweeted, 'These calf strains ain't no joke man!! Praying for Ty'. A trio of New York Knicks stars, who lost to Indiana in the Eastern Conference Finals, also posted. Josh Hart simply tweeted 'Ty' with three prayer hands emojis. Jalen Brunson posted, 'Prayers up man' while Karl-Anthony Towns said something similar: 'You never want to see that, prayers up.' Even Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes posted, 'Prayers up man...' with similar emojis as the others. It's a disappointing end to a night that started with such promise for Haliburton, who went 3-of-4 from beyond the arc to grab nine points. If Haliburton did indeed tear his Achilles, he'd be the third NBA superstar to suffer that injury in these playoffs, alongside Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard and Boston Celtics guard Jayson Tatum. A torn Achilles would likely require surgery and a lengthy recovery time for the Indiana star. At halftime, Indiana is clinging on to a 48-47 lead.
