Cubs score five runs, hit ball out of infield twice (Video)

The Chicago Cubs jumped out to a huge lead in Game 2 of the NLDS and it all started with a terrible throwing error. 

After getting bounced hard in Game 1 of the NLDS on Friday night, the Chicago Cubs decided to come out blazing in the second game of the series as their playoff hopes were already on the line. But the first second inning of Game 2 saw the Cubs turn things around in a pretty tremendous way as this just became a real series thanks to five run from Chicago off of just two balls that left the infield.

It all started with this throwing error that Carinals fans were less than pleased with from Jaime Garcia.

From there the Cubs built a 3-1 lead that turned into a 5-1 lead after Jorge Soler blasted a the only other hit to leave the infield — and it way left the infield.

Needless to say, the Cardinals fans out there watching the dumpster fire start to rage were not pleased:

This is a huge problem for the Cardinals, as Garcia gassing himself this early on in the game is something that will drain the bullpen in a horrible way in Game 2. Chicago and St. Louis head to Wrigley on Monday night, which means the Cardinals will have to be careful how much of the bullpen juice they use up in Game 2.

Chicago needed to jump start this series from their end of things and they’ll play Maddon Ball anyway they can.
