• Royals 8, Cubs 4: We’ll never be Royals

Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images The Cubs looked pretty flat and lost the series to the visitors from Kansas City. Okay, I’ve already probably given you an earworm with that headline, so you might as well listen to the song while you read this recap of the Cubs’ 8-4 loss to Kansas City: The Cubs played long ball with the Royals. Unfortunately, four were hit by the visitors, all of the...2025

David Banks-Imagn Images Vinnie hit two of Kansas City’s four two-run homers. The Kansas City Royals couldn’t stop hitting home runs as they demolished the Chicago Cubs 8-4 this afternoon at Wrigley Field. The game started interestingly when leadoff man Adam Frazier hit a flyball deep down the right field line. I heard somebody yell “CAN OF CORN” on the broadcast a second before the ball c...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
