Cubs Dominate Cardinals in a Thrilling 6-3 Victory! 
️
Hey Cubs fans! What a game we witnessed today at Wrigley Field! The Cubs pulled off an impressive 6-3 win against the Cardinals, and there were plenty of moments to cheer about! Let’s dive into the action and see how our boys got the job done. 
Strong Start in the 2nd Inning 
Things started heating up for the Cubs in the bottom of the 2nd inning. After a quiet first inning, the Cubs' bats came alive. Nico Hoerner singled to right, followed by Dansby Swanson reaching on an infield single. Then, Pete Crow-Armstrong came through with an RBI single, scoring Hoerner and putting the Cubs on the board. But the highlight of the inning was Christian Bethancourt’s three-run homer to right center, blasting us to a 4-0 lead! Moments later, Michael Busch added to the excitement with a solo homer of his own. This inning was a game-changer! 
Solid Defense and Pitching ️
Our pitching staff held it down throughout the game. Kudos to the pitching rotation that included strong performances from Assad, Miller, and Smyly. Despite a minor hiccup where an error by Smyly allowed Lars Nootbaar to get on base, our guys kept their cool. Special shoutout to Julian Merryweather and Neris for closing it out when things got a little dicey in the 8th. The Cardinals loaded the bases, but timely pitching and crucial strikeouts ensured the Cubs maintained their lead. 
Insurance Run in the 8th 
Heading into the bottom of the 8th with a 5-3 lead, the Cubs needed an insurance run to seal the deal. Seiya Suzuki doubled to left and later scored, extending our lead to 6-3. This was a critical run that gave us the cushion we needed going into the 9th inning. Adrian Sampson stepped up for a 1-2-3 inning to finish off the Cardinals, securing the win for the Cubs. 
Victory Cheers! 
It was a fantastic game, and a solid all-around performance by our team. Seeing the Cubs dominate both offensively and defensively was a thrill, and the fans at Wrigley Field were loving every moment. Let’s keep this momentum going and continue to cheer for our Cubbies! Next game, let's aim for another victory! Go Cubs Go!
