Cubs Come Back to Beat Braves, Twins Down Cardinals

ATLANTA -- It was a game of calls . . . or missed calls according to the Atlanta Braves.

The Chicago Cubs came away with a 3-2 victory over the Braves in a come-from-behind contest. The game was tied at 1-1 in the fifth inning when the Braves got runners on first and third and no outs. A pitch went past Cubs catcher Willson Contreras but bounced off the backstop and came back. Contreras got to the ball, threw to pitcher Mike Montgomery covering home plate and he tagged Johan Camargo.  The Braves challenged but the call was upheld.

Another call came again when a pitch got away from Contreras who got the ball then threw to third catching Charlie Culberson. The call was out again.

The Braves moved ahead on a homer by Ronald ACuna Jr. in the eighth. But here came the Cubs with doubles by Albert aAlmora Jr. and ADdison Russell and the score was knotted at 2-2. Ben Zobrtist then hit a single that scored the game-wininng run.
