WATCH: Miguel Montero's clutch grand slam gives Cubs a Game 1 win in NLCS

Montero's blast broke a 3-3 tie in the eighth inning

If there were any doubts this 2016 Cubs team is different than the Cubs of the last, oh, 108 years or so, they were erased Saturday night.

After closer Aroldis Chapman allowed a game-tying two-run single in the top of the eighth, the Cubs promptly untied the game with a go-ahead grand slam in the bottom half of the inning. Pinch-hitter Miguel Montero did the honors.

Dexter Fowler followed with a solo home run of his own. The back-to-back home runs -- on back-to-back pitches, no less -- gave the Cubbies an 8-3 lead. They won by the same score (box score).

Montero's pinch-hit grand slam puts him in an exclusive club. It's only the third pinch-hit grand slam in postseason history. Mark Lewis of the Reds did it to the Dodgers in the 1995 NLDS, and Ricky Ledee of the Yankees hit one against the Red Sox in the 1999 ALCS.

After Chapman blew the save in the eighth -- to be fair, he was brought into an impossible situation (bases loaded with no outs) -- it wasn't difficult to think "here we go again" with the Cubbies. They always seem to find a way to lose.

Well, not this team. These Cubs do nothing but win.
