Cubs unable to turn two** nIn the top of the 11th, the Dodgers had runners on the corners with one out, when Matt Beaty chopped an Alec Mills pitch to Rizzo up the first-base line. Rizzo gloved the ball, but opted not to step on first base. He threw to shortstop Javier Báez, who got a forceout at second.nnThat is where the play ended. Báez did not fire the ball back to Rizzo, who was trying to begin a 3-6-3 double play to end the inning. Max Muncy scored from third to put the Cubs behind, 5-4, on a play that looked costly in the moment.”,”type”:”markdown”,”__typename”:”Markdown”},”$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({“locale”:”en-us”,”slug”:”anthony-rizzo-cubs-walk-off-sweep-dodgers”,”type”:”story”}).parts.6″:{“contentDate”:”2021-05-06T04:05:02.85Z”,”description”:”Anthony Rizzo lines a walk-off single to left-center field and plates Matt Duffy, giving the Cubs a 6-5 win in the 11th inning”,”duration”:”00:00:21″,”slug”:”garrett-cleavinger-in-play-run-s-to-anthony-rizzo”,”source”:null,”tags”:[{“type”:”id”,”generated”:true,”id”:”$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({“locale”:”en-us”,”slug”:”anthony-rizzo-cubs-walk-off-sweep-dodgers”,”type”:”story”}).parts.6.tags.0″,”typename”:”Tag”},{“type”:”id”,”generated”:true,”id”:”$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({“locale”:”en-us”,”slug”:”anthony-rizzo-cubs-walk-off-sweep-dodgers”,”type”:”story”}).parts.6.tags.1″,”typename”:”Tag”},{“type”:”id”,”generated”:true,”id”:”$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({“locale”:”en-us”,”slug”:”anthony-rizzo-cubs-walk-off-sweep-dodgers”,”type”:”story”}).parts.6.tags.2″,”typename”:”Tag”},{“type”:”id”,”generated”:true,”id”:”$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({“locale”:”en-us”,”slug”:”anthony-rizzo-cubs-walk-off-sweep-dodgers”,”type”:”story”}).parts.6.tags.3″,”typename”:”Tag”},{“type”:”id”,”generated”:true,”id”:”$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({“locale”:”en-us”,”slug”:”anthony-rizzo-cubs-walk-off-sweep-dodgers”,”type”:”story”}).parts.6.tags.4″,”typename”:”Tag”},{“type”:”id”,”generated”:true,”id”:”$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({“locale”:”en-us”,”slug”:”anthony-rizzo-cubs-walk-off-sweep-dodgers”,”type”:”story”}).parts.6.tags.5″,”typename”:”Tag”},{“type”:”id”,”generated”:true,”id”:”$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({“locale”:”en-us”,”slug”:”anthony-rizzo-cubs-walk-off-sweep-dodgers”,”type”:”story”}).parts.6.tags.6″,”typename”:”Tag”},{“type”:”id”,”generated”:true,”id”:”$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({“locale”:”en-us”,”slug”:”anthony-rizzo-cubs-walk-off-sweep-dodgers”,”type”:”story”}).parts.6.tags.7″,”typename”:”Tag”},{“type”:”id”,”generated”:true,”id”:”$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({“locale”:”en-us”,”slug”:”anthony-rizzo-cubs-walk-off-sweep-dodgers”,”type”:”story”}).parts.6.tags.8″,”typename”:”Tag”},{“type”:”id”,”generated”:true,”id”:”$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({“locale”:”en-us”,”slug”:”anthony-rizzo-cubs-walk-off-sweep-dodgers”,”type”:”story”}).parts.6.tags.9″,”typename”:”Tag”},{“type”:”id”,”generated”:true,”id”:”$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({“locale”:”en-us”,”slug”:”anthony-rizzo-cubs-walk-off-sweep-dodgers”,”type”:”story”}).parts.6.tags.10″,”typename”:”Tag”},{“type”:”id”,”generated”:true,”id”:”$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({“locale”:”en-us”,”slug”:”anthony-rizzo-cubs-walk-off-sweep-dodgers”,”type”:”story”}).parts.6.tags.11″,”typename”:”Tag”},{“type”:”id”,”generated”:true,”id”:”$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({“locale”:”en-us”,”slug”:”anthony-rizzo-cubs-walk-off-sweep-dodgers”,”type”:”story”}).parts.6.tags.12″,”typename”:”Tag”}],”templateUrl”:”https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-images/image/private/{formatInstructions}/mlb/nt8abafr0urpox3acarc”,”title”:”Anthony Rizzo’s walk-off…
