Let’s see if the Cubs can jump out right away. Michael Bush stands in left side against Brandon Young. Bush in the air to right. Jeremiah Jackson comes in and he drops it, baby. Wow, what a start. We often blame the elements on balls that drop, but this is just a routine fly ball to right field. Sunglasses on the back of the head probably don’t help a whole lot. Cubs catch a break. Runner on second here with nobody out. Tucker lays down a bunt. Throw to first and it’s a sack buck for Kyle Tucker. So BCH at third infield and Seya Suzuki the battered right side base hit. BCH scores and Seiya Suzuki RBI single. It is one to nothing Cubs here in the first as there’s a man on with one out. And now here’s Pete Crow Armstrong.

The runner is safe at first with Henderson leging it out as Alex Jackson comes in to get the Orioles on the board. Adley Rutman is first up towards the gap in left field. Hap on the run, reaches out and it’s off his glove up into the Ivy. It shoots out and Rutpick can tried into second. Standing with a leadoff double. A play we’ve seen Ian make in the past. Not an easy play, but he probably feels like he should have been able to haul this one in. Found it to short. Dansby. What a play to first the stretch. Got him. So smooth. Big time play. Big time play. Well, it’s hit pretty well. He just gobbles it up. And safe at third on the play is Rutman. Colton Cowser the batter. Hit hard pass the plunge of Bush and into right field. Cowser will drive in Rutman. And we are tied at two. Orioles before that swing were 0 for four with runners in scoring position. make it one for five now in a tie ball game. So Colin Ray gets Alex Jackson as Jackson swings and misses. Looking for his two gets him with a slowm moving breaking ball. So here is Jackson Holiday the second baseman. Holiday swings and misses. Strike three. Got him with a curve ball. Two away. Westber up the middle pass the diving Swanson and into center field. And here comes Craig Council. He’s not going to wait.

Swinging a miss. absolutely sold out at the cutter and PCA into the glove for the third time. And now the the interim skipper is going to make a pitching change. See if Kate Stra can get that ground ball and maybe he can create a double play and get the Orioles off the field. Ground ball at shortstop. Henderson has it underhand flip to second for one onto first. Make that two. A double play. Cage Straoud gets it done. 643 double play. Top nine, 3-2 Cubs lead and Daniel Palencia in for the save opportunity. There’s a base hit to right down the line in the corner. It’s going to be an extra base knock. Cowser rounding second. He’s going to hold with a leadoff double. Dylan Carlson batting. Is he going to swing or bunt? That’s the question now. A man at second. Nobody out. Carlson swings and hits a fly ball to left.
