Today’s Headlines

Cubs fly the W in Iowa

The Cubs defeated the Reds in a 4-2 game amongst the corn. Brandon Hughes kept the Reds from scoring in the last two innings despite a late Reds rally. The game was special, and I’ll have plenty of moments throughout this article.

Magical moments in Iowa

Yes, you read that right. A Harry Caray hologram performed “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” during the seventh inning stretch in Iowa. It was met with very mixed reviews.

Guardians sweep to extend win streak

The Guardians swept the Tigers, extending their win streak to five. The game ended in 10 innings after a go-ahead run with a two-out single from Oscar Gonzalez. The Guardians currently lead the AL Central and increased their lead over the Twins to 1 1/2 games.

Marlins end Phillies’ win streak

The Marlins pitchers excelled with Edward Cabrera pitching into the sixth inning, and Tanner Scott ended the game with the team’s seventh shutout. Kyle Schwarber dealt with a nagging calf injury he’s been suffering with through the last few weeks. He left the game and might not make the lineup for the Phillies’ next series against the Mets.
