Host Cubs Drop Pivotal Game 5, Now Trail Series 3-2
Atlanta Braves catcher Brian McCann was the difference-maker at Wrigley Field 1979-2005 today, as he led his club to victory in a pivotal Game 5 of the Divisional Series. The Braves took the 5-4 win over the Chicago Cubs to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series.

McCann had a consequential at-bat in the top of the third for the Braves. Coming up with runners on 1st and 3rd and Atlanta trailing 1-0, he hit a 3-run home run.

"I just tried to make good contact," said McCann.

Game 6 is scheduled for Tuesday at Turner Field 1997-2016 in Atlanta.
