CHICAGO — Someone had to score, at some point, in some inning and in some way, so those 40,000 people at Wrigley Field, and all the others watching at home, could get some sleep at some hour Tuesday night.
And so it was Tony Wolters, the Colorado Rockies’ backup catcher, the latest substitution in a game that emptied most of two rosters onto one field, delivering a go-ahead, two-out single in the top of the 13th inning of the National League wild-card game. The home crowd hushed once Wolters flicked a Kyle Hendricks change-up into center field, scoring Trevor Story from third base, putting the Chicago Cubs on life support in the longest win-or-go-home postseason game ever played.
The Cubs were then three outs away from being on the wrong side of that history, then two, then one, and then a season that started with World Series hopes ended on the third day of October, just after midnight Central time, with a 2-1 defeat to the Rockies.

The Brewers beat the Cardinals 2-1 on Wednesday night. In one fell swoop, the Cardinals’ loss clinched playoff berths for the Cubs and Brewers. As of this writing, the Cubs are in progress against the Pirates and stand to end the night a half-game up on the Brewers in the NL Central. The third-place Cardinals will fall to a game and a half behind the Rockies for the second NL Wild Card slot.
The Cubs are back in the postseason for a fourth consecutive season. They were swept out of the 2015 NLCS by the Mets, won the World Series in 2016, then lost the NLCS in five games to the Dodgers last year.

Syndergaard was exactly the pitcher the Mets wanted in such a spot in 2016, but it’s not just Jacob deGrom and Zack Wheeler’s ascent that explains the change in pecking order. Syndergaard’s regression plays into it, too.
“I just feel like every five days right now I’m just kind of wasting my ability to throw a baseball,” Syndergaard said after his Dog Days of Summer continued Monday with a ragged performance in the Mets’ 7-4 loss to the Cubs at Wrigley Field. “My stuff’s too good to go out there and go six innings and give up four runs with nine base hits. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.”
