Tucker Hits 2-run Hr, Cubs Score 6 In 8th After Giving Up 10 In Top Half To Beat Diamondbacks 13-11

Kyle Tucker had the fans on their feet, roaring and pumping their fists as he rounded the bases after hitting the go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth inning. His screaming line drive cleared the right-field wall with plenty of room to spare.

The Chicago Cubs went from giving up 10 runs in the eighth to scoring six in the bottom half and beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 13-11 on Friday in one of the wildest games on record.

"That's kind of baseball," Tucker said. "There's a lot of ups and downs in this game, especially with how many games we play."

There haven't been many games like this, though.

The Cubs are just the seventh team in at least the past 125 seasons to allow 10 or more runs in an inning and win. The others are Cleveland at Kansas City in the first inning on Aug. 23, 2006 Philadelphia against Pittsburgh in the first on June 8, 1989 the New York Yankees against the Philadelphia Athletics in the third on June 3, 1933 the Cubs against Cincinnati in the ninth on Sept. 26, 1912 the New York Giants at Boston Braves in the ninth on June 20, 1912 and the the Philadelphia Athletics against the Yankees in the ninth on May 3, 1912.
