What a game, fellow Cubs fans!
Our Cubbies faced off against the Oakland Athletics and came out victorious with a final score of 7-4. It was a rollercoaster of a match filled with powerful hits, strategic plays, and great performances!Early Lead with Suzuki's Homer
Things got off to a thrilling start for the Cubs in the top of the 1st inning. After Ian Happ reached base on an error and Kyle Tucker walked, Seiya Suzuki smashed a monster 445-foot homer to center, giving us an early 3-0 lead. What a way to set the tone of the game!
Tucker and Swanson Add to the Lead
The Athletics responded quickly with a homer of their own in the bottom of the 1st, but our guys continued to push forward. In the 3rd inning, Kyle Tucker belted a solo homer to right center, followed by a slick RBI double by Dansby Swanson, pushing our lead to 5-2.Solid Performance from the Bullpen
The Cubs' pitchers held the line brilliantly. Despite a bit of a scare in the 3rd inning when the Athletics closed in to make it 5-4, the bullpen didn't allow another run. Our relievers, especially Javier Assad, Jonathan Merryweather, and Ryan Pressly, were lights out! Much credit to them for shutting down the A's bats.
Insurance and a Solid Finish
In the 7th inning, Justin Turner stepped up as a pinch hitter and delivered an RBI single, scoring Tucker once again to make it 7-4. That was all the scoring we needed as our defense and bullpen controlled the rest of the game, securing the well-deserved win!Here’s to more games like this one, Cubs fans!
