Cubs notes: Extra-inning win in Milwaukee had it all -- Palencia debut, Happ clutch throws and a colorful Ross postgame. McGrawDHSports Cubs
But after Mark Leiter Jr. gave up 2 runs in the eighth and Adbert Alzolay surrendered 2 runs in the ninth Tuesday, there wasn't much choice but to send rookie Daniel Palencia out for his major league debut in the 10th.
The Venezuela native is known for throwing 100-plus miles per hour in the minors, but he started the 10th with a slider for a strike to Milwaukee's Willie Adames. Happ throws strikes: Ian Happ was sort of standing out in left field minding his own business when the outcome of Tuesday's game landed in his lap twice.
Then the Cubs led 7-6 in the bottom of the 11th when Brice Turang sent a medium depth fly ball to left. Happ nailed Miller trying to tag up from third and this call was a no-doubter. Game over.
Ross lets loose: Cubs manager David Ross celebrated a much-needed win by unloading some frustration during his postgame interview outside the clubhouse.
