Rockies top Cubs in epic game

Tony Wolters waited and waited as the NL wild-card game went deep into Tuesday night. He stretched a couple of times and tried to figure out when he might get a chance to play. When that chance arrived, he was ready.

Wolters hit a tiebreaking single with two outs in the 13th inning and the Colorado Rockies outlasted the Chicago Cubs 2-1 at Wrigley Field in the longest win-orgo-home postseason game in major league history.

“Probably the biggest hit I’ve ever had, that’s for sure,” he said. (AP)
