2. Anthony Rizzo’s excitement when Miguel Montero plated an insurance run to put the Cubs up two must have reflected the feeling of nearly every Cubs fan at that moment.

3. The Cubs, as expected, surged out onto the field after the final out, but poor Michael Martinez unfortunately ended up in the shot while just trying to hustle back to the dugout.

4. After getting two of the last three outs in the Cubs’ win, of course Carl Edwards Jr. earned the right to fly the W.
