Walk-Off Seals 87th Victory for Wizards
The home team gave the crowd some walk-off drama.

The Washington Wizards overcame a pretty good performance by Chicago first baseman Michael Cuddyer, beating the Cubs, 5-4, in 10 innings. Cuddyer went 3 for 5 with a home run, 2 doubles, and a walk. He scored 3 times. Kris Medlen, credited with the win in relief, is now 7-8. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings.

The Wizards got a clutch hit from left fielder Lance Berkman. In the bottom of the tenth, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Wizards.

Berkman said afterward that his team has grown over the course of the season, adding: "It feels good when a plan comes together."

Washington is now 87-56, Chicago 62-80.
