The call strike here against James Wood. And for James Wood, he strikes out looking. It’s an 89 mph change up. Horton stuff will play well against lefties. Hit to third. Shaw to first. Two outs.

Michael Bush heads to second. Michael Bush rounds second. Michael Bush to third and Michael Bush with a leadoff triple. [Music] like uh had a little problem with it out in right field and BCH taking full advantage making it all the way to third base. I don’t know if they’re going to go triple or double on an error here. 02. Dansby hits it to center. Hassel Jr. back shy of the warning track. Makes the catch, but it’s well deep enough to score Michael Bush. He touches home. Sacrifice fly for Danby. And we’re tied up at one here in the second. And now a four pitch walk. Draft runners off.

L is a plus runner and he needed every bit of it. He had makes a real nice throw here. His momentum taking him towards the stands. He’s able to get square towards home and get off a pretty good throw with that head first slide in ahead of the tag. How close that ball come to hitting you, Taylor? Well, good thing there’s a net. Here comes PCA to second. The throw. It’s late. Wheels from PCA. Lead off double here in the fourth. [Applause] Let’s take another look at PCA. And this double is brought to you by Elgen Hyundai, home of the 20 year and 200,000 mi warranty on every new car. Ly earlier had a little problem in right field. This time gets off a very strong throw. Pete in ahead of the tag from Abrams. So they’re keeping an eye on him. And there he goes. No throw there. Stolen base number 20. D Crow Armstrong now the fourth fastest in Major League Baseball history with 15 homers and 20 solo bases. And here’s number 20 again. Really well timed by PCA. Williams didn’t make him stop and Ruiz had no shot at it. Just Kelly left side kicked by Tana. Oh [Applause] wow. Oh man, he changes the game. Really does. A little bit of a brain cramp there by Tana, but uh you know the PCA just causes so many issues, distractions out there in the field. I don’t know what he’s thinking though. I mean at some point you got to make that play to first base. BCH off to right field. Base hit. PCA scores on third. Carson Kelly RBI single. Michael Bush. Cubs cut their deficit in half. It’s a 3-2 [Applause] game. Bush looks like he’s about to go on a heater here. First time up triple and again a little hanging breaking ball. That sweeper is a really good pitch for Williams, but that one just didn’t do a whole lot. I from June to September. Ansby hits it out to right. Isle races back at the warning track and he makes the catch. It’ll be another sacrifice fly for Dansby Swanson. Second of the night. This one ties up the game. We’re kned up at [Applause] three. What happened? Suzuki Shaw right field. Ly back at the warning track. He can’t get it. Pelts off the wall. Shaw to second lead off double. Cubs are in business here in the fifth. leadoff double by PCA in the fourth. You’re able to take advantage of that and plate him. Let’s see what they do with this one from Matt Shaw. It’s way up above the belt and this ball just cars right into the glove of Lyall out there and right. Still no chance to make a play on Shaw. We’ve seen him do a lot of work to the right side. 1044 the opposite way. App to short. Tough play. Abrams. No throw. 3-1. Skies it to center. Hassel Jr. underneath it. Makes the catch. Shaw tags up. Throw home. It’s wide. Cubs take a 4-3 lead. Payoff. Another walk for [Applause] PCA. Carson Kelly out to right. There’s a single. Rest of the runners go station to station and the Cubs have the bases loaded. 3-2. [Applause] It is a bases loaded walk for Michael Bush. Second RBI today. Ian Hap scores. Cubs double up their lead. They’re up five to three. Nico right side base hit. Two-run score. Nico comes up again. Two-run, two out single. And the Cubs double up their lead. They’re now up seven to three. [Applause] It’s a 16game on base streak now for Nico who’s been so good with men in scoring position. And it’s exactly what I was talking about. This pitch is well off the plate and it’s ball four, but Nico would rather swing. Whacks it into right plates, too. I mean, you’re just playing to his strength with that one right there. Coupes. the 30 minutes that Kate Horton had last thrown a pitch with that lengthy top half of the inning. No ill effects there as he punches out Tana to get the bottom of the fist [Applause] on. Second strike out of the night. Second time called third strike looking. He got wood back in the first. Horton delivers. Browner to first. Bush underhands to Horton for a one two three inning. umpire. That’s another two-w walk game for P. Cro Armstrong and he’s off for 21. Throw down to second. He gets solar base number 21. Not even close. Swing and a miss. Strike three. Third strike out of the night for Kate Horton comes on the breaking pitch. Little pretty solid hitter as really Bell will turn around and bat right-handed against the lefty Kale of the field bar. Josh Bell has not had much success at all against left-handed pitching. Grounded to third. Shaw picks it to second for one to first. It’s a double play. Cubs have quite a new third baseman. Shaw to Nico to Bush. Look at this pick. Great throw. Great turn. Seven to three comes [Applause] lead. Bush out to right center field. Lyle back to the track at the wall. It’s gone. Michael Bush solo homer. Three for three with a homer, a triple, and a single. Ninth of the year. It’s 8 to3 Cubs. This home run replay is brought to you by Toyota, the official vehicle of the Chicago Cubs. A no doubter center cut fast ball at 94 miles an hour. Michael jumps all over it and he is heating up big time here in the bottom of the six. Swing and a miss. Strike [Applause] three. I think that’s where he intended to leave that breaking pitch. Get the result. He was hoping for the pitch. Flare out towards short. Swanson back. What a catch. Oh, Dansby. So [Applause] [Music] smooth. Henness on. Now the veteran left-hander. Spent most of the season at AAA in the Mets organization. down at Syracuse. A handful of appear, excuse me, of appearances with the Mets. This is number two in a Cub uniform. In the air, shallow center, long run PCA makes the catch. Good last year. Right back to short. Swanson to first. It’s a one-twoing for Hannes Cabrera. Help coming from Thebar Cabrera and now Presley to finish the ball game. Ground ball. There’s Presley underhands the first. Cubs win. Nice start to the road trip in the district. Sing the song at home. Go Cubs go. Cubs eight Nationals three.
