CHICAGO (AP) â The celebration was under way by the time David Bote flung his helmet high into the air on his way home.Teammates were already jumping up and down Authentic Aaron Donald Jersey , ready to mob him at the plate. The fans were in a frenzy, too.Nothing like a game-ending grand slam to get the festivities started.A pinch-hitting Bote smashed one against Ryan Madson with two outs in the ninth inning to lift the Chicago Cubs to a 4-3 victory over the Washington Nationals on Sunday night.Boteâs long drive to center field came after dominant starts by Washingtonâs Max Scherzer and Chicagoâs Cole Hamels.Madson (2-5) entered with a 3-0 lead to start the ninth and quickly ran into trouble.He gave up an infield single to Jason Heyward with one out and hit Albert Almora with a pitch. Madson then retired Kyle Schwarber on a foul pop before hitting Contreras to load the bases.With a 2-2 count, Bote drove a knee-high fastball well beyond the center-field wall, setting off quite a scene.Teammates ripped off his jersey at the plate. He also had a cooler emptied on him as he gave an interview on the field while fans chanted âBote! Bote!ââItâs magical,â he said. âItâs incredible. Itâs an unbelievable feeling. It couldnât happen to a better team, a better group of people in that clubhouse. And Iâm so blessed and honored to be part of it.âThere was more after he finished his postgame interview with reporters. As he walked back into the clubhouse, he got a quick hug from none other than noted Cubs fan Bill Murray, who asked, âIs this the hero?âBote has made quite an impression while bouncing back and forth between the minors as a rookie. He is batting .329 with three homers in 34 games for the Cubs, with Kris Bryant battling injuries this season.His big slam helped Chicago take two of three in the first meeting between these teams since the Cubs beat Washington in the NL Division Series. It also made a winner of Justin Wilson (4-3), who got the final two outs in the ninth.Madson said a recurring back issue flared up when he was warming up, causing pain going down his right leg.âSometimes it will shoot Aaron Donald Jersey Elite , sometimes it wonât,â he said. âThatâs really the truth of the matter. Just trying to fight through it. Not everybody feels 100 percent all the time, but this oneâs pretty big. So Iâll lose basically position, control over the ball.âScherzer tossed three-hit ball over seven innings. The three-time Cy Young Award winner struck out 11 and walked one.But the Nationals managed just three hits â one off Hamels. He gave up one run in seven innings, struck out nine and walked one in his third start since Chicago acquired him from Texas.The only hit he allowed was Daniel Murphyâs single in the second to put runners on first and third. Mark Reynolds then drove in Ryan Zimmerman with a sacrifice fly.The Nationals did not get another hit until Trea Turner tripled against Brandon Kintzler, sparking a two-run ninth.A-ROD, MADDON MAKE PEACECubs manager Joe Maddon and ESPN analyst Alex Rodriguez insisted they made peace over the former sluggerâs comments criticizing pitcher Yu Darvish last month.Maddon said they had a âvery open and candidâ conversation before the game. Rodriguez also said it was âvery positive.âThe two were at odds after Rodriguez accused Darvish â sidelined since May 20 because of triceps and elbow injuries â of causing a rift in the clubhouse by rehabbing with the team rather than at the Cubsâ facility in Arizona. Maddon fired back at the time, and he made it clear again Sunday that he will protect his players.Rodriguez, who took two questions from reporters before sprinting away, seemed to have no regrets.âWhatâs great about this is we all have the same interests â to grow the game, to highlight stories as objectively as we can,â he said.Both he and Maddon said they planned to have drinks together at some point.TRAINERâS ROOMNationals: The Nationals held 3B Anthony Rendon out of the lineup for the second straight game because of a sore left wrist http://www.sandiegochargersteamonline.com/derwin-j...mes-jer sey , though he entered in the bottom of the ninth. ⦠Closer Sean Doolittle (left toe inflammation) hopes to start throwing off the mound in the next day or two. He has not pitched since July 6.Cubs: The Cubs activated RHP Anthony Bass (right mid-thoracic strain) and assigned him to Triple-A Iowa after he cleared waivers.UP NEXTNationals: Washington opens a four-game series at surging St. Louis, with LHP Tommy Milone (1-1, 5.50 ERA) starting for the Nationals and RHP Miles Mikolas (12-3, 2.74) pitching for the Cardinals.Cubs: Send LHP José Quintana (10-8, 4.28) to the mound when they open a two-game series against Milwaukee on Tuesday. The Baltimore Orioles come into Kansas City on Friday for the start of their three-game weekend series in an unusual position â riding a three-game winning streak.Andrew Cashner (4-12, 4.79 ERA) will help the Orioles try for their second four-game winning streak of the season. He goes against Brad Keller (6-5, 3.33).Baltimore (40-94) is coming off a three-sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays. Toronto had scored victories in 12 of the first 13 games between the teams this season before the Orioles rolled over the Jays, scoring 29 runs in three victories.Article continues below ...Right fielder Adam Jones handled his shift from his long-time position in center without a word of complaint, trying to help rookie Cedric Mullins adjust to life in the big leagues. Jones was one of the big bats in this series.He finished with four hits in Tuesdayâs win and banged out a grand slam in a 12-5 rout of Toronto on Wednesday night.âItâs just fun to see him have fun,â Baltimore starter Alex Cobb said to MASNsports.com about Jones doing well late in a season that doesnât mean much. âHeâs meant so much to this organization. For him to go out there and have big moments like that in a season thatâs kind of lost for us, itâs fun to see and fun to be a part of.âCashner will try and continue the fun in Kansas City on Friday night. Heâs 0-2 with a 2.45 ERA versus the Royals in his career but has pitched better lately as Baltimore has played better.Keller will be making his first career appearance versus the Orioles.The Orioles are playing a team theyâre âbattlingâ for the title of worst record in the majors, something neither franchise is happy about. Four years ago http://www.losangelesramsteamonline.com/aaron-donald-jersey , these two teams met in the American League Championship Series.Kansas City (42-91) is a bit behind Baltimore, but the Royals also have found more recent success, especially in the past week. The sweep of the Jays was the Oriolesâ first sweep of a three-game series since late last season.But the Royals have won two series in a row, taking two of three from Cleveland before winning both games against the Detroit Tigers.In Wednesdayâs win over Detroit, longtime Royals player Alex Gordon hit his 170th homer as a member of the franchise and moved to fourth place all time. He said he didnât even realize where he ranked on the home run list.âI just wanted to make it to the big leagues and not mess up,â Gordon told the media after that game. âAny time you have been with an organization as long as I have, youâre going to pass some people. Iâm just an old guy moving up the list.âThe Royals made a move Wednesday, trading Lucas Duda to the Atlanta Braves for cash, which makes him eligible for postseason play. Duda was on a one-year deal with Kansas City.Baltimore also has lost outfielder/designated hitter Mark Trumbo to a knee surgery. He will miss the rest of the season. Mullins is battling a sore hip.
