Cubs Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Tigers
Phil Rizzuto had a big hand in Chicago's 12-11 triumph over Detroit. He rattled off 3 hits in 5 at-bats, scoring 2 times and knocking in 4 runs. For his performance, Rizzuto was named player of the game. The win was credited to Tim Cooney in relief. His record improves to 2-3. Julio Teheran took the loss. The Cubs have an impressive 31-14 record.

Rizzuto had a game-changing single in the bottom of the ninth. On a 1-1 fastball from Stan Belinda, he banged a 2-run single to right, giving the Cubs a 12-11 lead. It was the 48th hit of the year for Rizzuto.

"There's nothing like the buzz of a walk-off win," Rizzuto said.
