CUBS POSTGAME: CUBS WALK-OFF WIN vs Reds! Michael Conforto Delivers CLUTCH Hit! | CHGO Cubs Podcast

The Chicago Cubs pulled off a dramatic 5-4 walk-off victory over the Reds at Wrigley Field, extending their home winning streak to 12 games and solidifying their first-place position in the NL Central. The game was defined by resilience: down 3-0 early, the Cubs battled back with a Seiya Suzuki home run, a clutch bases-loaded rally in the eighth, and a game-tying triple from Pete Alonso before Michael Conforto delivered the walk-off home run in the ninth. The moment was especially emotional for Conforto, who had struggled early in the season and called it his first walk-off homer in his 11-year MLB career—his first since T-ball. The hosts praised the team's collective effort, highlighting how every player, from bench role players to starters, contributed to the comeback. They also lauded manager Craig Counsell for his aggressive, data-driven lineup management and bullpen decisions, calling it his best stretch as Cubs manager. Despite a shaky start from Edward Cabrera, the team’s depth and heart carried them through, with standout performances from Rolison, Alonso, and Suzuki. The episode culminates in a celebration of the team’s culture, unity, and the belief that this squad is built to win not just now, but deep into October.
