We’ve got to stay positive and fight for your brothers. We play like the score is nothing-nothing.

“We’re the best team in baseball, and we’re the best team in baseball for a reason,” Heyward said, according to Sports Illustrated. He said, “Guys, weight room! Won’t take long!”. When the Cubs were beat up and emotionally drained from the nine innings that ensued, Jason Heyward brought one of the most significant moments in Cubs history to the table. But before the 10th inning started, a rain delay caused the game to be delayed. Just like that, the game was headed to extra innings. Then with the tying run at the plate, Rajai Davis delivered one of the biggest home runs in World Series history, launching a Chapman pitch to left to tie the game and sink the hearts of Cubs fans everywhere.Ĭhapman, however, was able to battle for the last out of the eighth, and deliver a scoreless 9th - not without a few scares to Cubs fans. Chapman, who had been used extremely often in that series, gave up an RBI double to Brandon Guyer, making the game 6-4. Aroldis Chapman came into the game, attempting to get a four-out save to give the Cubs a World Series win. Lester went on from the fifth and pitched into the 8th inning when he was eventually lifted with two outs in the eighth after giving up a single. In the following inning, David Ross made up for it by homering off of red hot lefty Andrew Miller, making him the oldest player to ever homer in Game seven of the World Series at 39 years old - and the Cubs were back to a comfortable 6-3 lead. A few pitches later, Lester bounced a curveball off of David Ross’ mask, which left him staggered, and both runners on base came around to score to make the game 5-3. Lester allowed a single, and after an error, there were runners on second and third with two-out. Jon Lester came into the game in a dirty inning with a runner on first - even though Joe Maddon said he would not do that - and David Ross came in with Lester, which took Contreras out of the game. After a two-out walk, manager Joe Maddon performed one of the most questionable decisions in Cubs history - lifting Hendricks after allowing just one run and with a low pitch count. With the Cubs up 5-1, Kyle Hendricks went back to work in the bottom of the fifth. Later that inning, Kris Bryant put his stellar wheels to the test again and score on a single to right from first base because he was moving on the pitch and never looked back. The following inning, Javier Baez hit an opposite-field dinger that gave the Cubs a 4-1 lead. Willson Contreras delivered an RBI double to the wall to drive in Ben Zobrist. On a lazy fly ball to shallow center hit by Addison Russell, Kris Bryant tagged up and caught Cleveland by surprise to score a savvy run and take a 2-1 lead.

The game was quickly tied with a Carlos Santana RBI single two innings later. The game had so many interesting points and moments. It all started with Cubs leadoff man Dexter Fowler launching a leadoff home run to straightaway centerfield on the fourth pitch of the game, the first-ever leadoff home run in game seven of the World Series. Game seven of the 2016 World Series was the best game of that season, the best game of the Cubs playoff run, the best game of the decade, the best game of Cubs history and arguably the greatest game of all time.

We all knew this one was coming, and it is well deserved. 1: Game 7 of 2016 World Series - Cubs win 8-7 Here is the best game of the Cubs’ 2016 postseason run:
