• Cubs 1, Orioles 0: Pitching, defense and... a sacrifice fly

Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images The Cubs got all three of the things noted in today’s headline and won in a very, very fast game. The Cubs and Orioles met on perhaps the nicest weather day of the entire summer to date at Wrigley Field. Unlimited sunshine, 72 degrees, wind blowing in at 12 miles per hour. And then they played like they wanted to get out of there and enjoy the sunshi...2025

• Cubs 6, Royals 0: All-Star Matthew Boyd shines bright

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images The Cubs posted their 12th shutout of 2025. Matthew Boyd’s first career All-Star selection did not result in him playing in the game, mostly because the Cubs wanted him to rest for games exactly like this one. The well-rested Boyd, who had last pitched 10 days earlier, threw seven outstanding shutout innings and the Cubs put together a varied...2025

Michael Busch and Kyle Tucker went deep as the first two Cubs batters of the game Saturday evening against the Red Sox. And then in the eighth, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Ian Happ did the same, also back-to-back. The four home runs helped the Cubs to a 6-0 victory o...2025

• Cubs 1, Guardians 0: Matt Shaw walks it off

Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images The Cubs get great pitching and just enough offense and complete a series sweep. The Cubs offense nearly disappeared Thursday evening at Wrigley Field against the Guardians. They had just three hits, all singles. That plus three walks was the extent of the offense, and in the first nine innings just two Cubs got past first base. Eleven Cubs struck out. But th...2025
