The Cubs clinch the other NLDS thanks to a tremendous 9th-inning comeback in San Francisco. Trailing 5 – 2 and looking completely anemic against Matt Moore, they victimize a parade of five different relievers to score 4 runs in the fateful inning and take the lead; Aroldis Chapman then saves his third game of the series with a perfect 9th to send the Giants packing, ending their string of three consecutive World Series wins in even-numbered years.
