It appeared Darwin Barney was going to be out at home. Instead, he hit the plate, eluded a tag by backup catcher Jonathan Lucroy and scored the game’s only run in the eighth inning in the Chicago Cubs’ 1-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday night. “We needed an unbelievable slide from him,” Cubs [...]
