It is the second go-ahead home run in Cubs postseason history in the eighth inning or later to break a scoreless tie, according to Katie Sharp of River Avenue Blues. The other was by Joe Tinker in the 1908 World Series.
The Cubs are looking to win their first World Series in 108 years after finishing the regular season with the best record.
Chicago leads the NLDS 1–0.
