Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images The Cubs designated hitter’s first-inning blast held up for victory. The Cubs opened the second half of the season on a high note — in fact, they did that in the very first inning Friday at Wrigley Field, on what was probably the nicest weather day we’ve had all summer. After Colin Rea dispatched the Red Sox 1-2-3 in the top of the first, the Cubs started wai...2025

The Cubs really couldn’t have done much better so far this year. They have three All-Stars, two of them starting players. They’re in first place in the NL Central, though by just one game, and have had une...2025
