Down 5-1 to the Cincinnati Reds in the opening game of a doubleheader Wednesday, there was very little going right for the Chicago Cubs.
It looked like the rout was going to continue as Brandon Phillips sent a liner to left field to lead off the bottom half of the seventh. Cue Chris Coghlan.
Despite Coghlan's best efforts, the Cubs could only hold off the Reds' offense for another two-thirds of an inning before Cincinnati cashed in four more runs to close out the seventh on its way to a 9-1 win.
Chicago got its revenge in the nightcap, winning 6-5 to move back into a wild-card position.
