• Cubs 16, Dodgers 0: The hits and home runs just kept on coming

Two of the Cubs’ home run heroes from Saturday night, Carson Kelly and Michael Busch | Kiyoshi Mio-Imagn Images It took a while, but the Cubs brought out the big bats at Dodger Stadium Saturday evening. The Cubs and Dodgers looked like they would be locked in a classic pitcher’s duel for the first five innings of this game. Ben Brown and Roki Sasaki were both dealing, and both teams flashe...2025

Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images Boyd was throwing a real nice game until Edman interrupted it with a three-run homer.

He entered Friday night’s game batting .280/.320/.500 with 13 home runs in 68 career games against the Cubs — by far his most homers against any team (next most: seven against the Pirates ...2025

• Hey, Tom Ricketts! You need to get Kyle Tucker signed now — and not just for baseball reasons

David Banks-Imagn Images There’s something else that this signing would do for the Cubs. With Kyle Tucker off to a great start with the Cubs, the chorus of voices urging Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts to open up the team wallet and sign Tucker to an extension before he hits free agency has gotten louder. While there’s no question about Tucker’s abilities on the field — he’s hitting the way he ...2025

• 2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 15

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images It was a bummer of a day as the Cubs lose 6-2. The start to this season has been so exceptional that this game is a weird feeling. The Cubs did show a brief sign of life in the fourth inning and the game was tied after four. This game was all Rangers, though. Shōta Imanaga had an uncharacteristically bad day. He allowed a couple of homers and...2025
