It doesn’t get much crazier than Friday’s Diamondbacks-Cubs game.
Through six innings, the Cubs held a 2-1 lead in what appeared to be a ho-hum mid-April game at Wrigley Field.
Then things hit the fan.
Chicago dropped a five-spot in the bottom of the seventh inning, seemingly putting the Diamondbacks away for good.
Arizona would bounce back and then some a half-inning later, exploding for 10 runs during a rally for the ages in the top of the eighth inning to take an 11-7 lead.
The run barrage didn’t stop there.
The Cubs would counter with a six-run rally in the bottom of the eighth inning, retaking the lead, 13-11.
The teams combined for seven home runs, including two grand slams off the bats of Eugenio Suarez and Ian Happ.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. also added a three-run home run during that wild Diamondbacks eighth inning.
A combined 12 players had multiple hits in the game.
It was the first time this season both teams scored 10-plus runs in a game.
