14 pitches, 10 foul balls, 9 with two strikes.
That’s how long Anthony Rizzo’s at-bat was in the sixth inning. And although it ended in a home run that made the 100% capacity crowd at Wrigley Field erupt with applause, they were absolutely roaring for every pitch he spoiled before that. It was truly such an unbelievable performance and moment.
Anthony Rizzo has Wrigley Field ROARING … with foul balls. I love it.

Oh, and it completed the comeback the Cubs began an inning earlier, make it a tie ballgame!

That was one of the loudest moments at Wrigley Field in two years. So amazing. And historic:
Anthony Rizzo just homered on the 14th pitch of a PA, to tie the game for the Cubs
