Cubs win in 12th when Pirates outfielder trips on easy fly (Yahoo Sports)

Pittsburgh right fielder Gregory Polanco tripped and fell while trying to catch an easy fly, and the ball dropped for an RBI single in the 12th inning that sent the Chicago Cubs to a startling 11-10 win over the Pirates on Friday. The Cubs won their fifth straight game, matching their longest string since last June. Chicago loaded the bases with one out in the 12th against Radhames Liz (0-1) and Matt Szczur lifted a routine fly to shallow right field, not likely to score the winning run.
