WATCH: Ian Happ does 'El Mago' move as Rafael Ortega steals home

The Chicago Cubs are trying their best to get a sweep of the doubleheader on Wednesday.

In the second inning of game two, the Cubs pulled off the rare double steal and outfielder Rafael Ortega stole home while Ian Happ was able to bait the throw.

What a great play by Happ to make the catcher throw the ball with two outs and then avoid the tag to allow Ortega to score easily.

It was a very 'El Mago' type play for the Northsiders.

The Cubs currently lead the Rockies 5-2.
