The Chicago Cubs played three different pitchers in left field in their 15-inning win over the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night.

Travis Wood and Spencer Patton alternated pitching and playing left in the 14th inning before Wood pitched the 15th while setup man Pedro Strop played left field.

"We were down to almost nothing," Joe Maddon said after using 22 of the 25 players on his roster. "Travis, my God, what an athlete. ... Travis made everything possible. He may have had his best stuff all year."

Wood wasn't supposed to pitch after he threw in Monday's game, but once Hector Rondon blew a ninth-inning save opportunity, it was "all hands on deck," according to the manager.

"With Travis, you treat him like a position player," Maddon said. "I had no concerns about that."
