What a game, fellow Cubs fans! Get comfy because there's a lot to celebrate from our match against the Detroit Tigers today! We clinched a 3-1 victory, and it was a thrilling game from start to finish. Let's break down the highlights.Strong Start For The Tigers, But We Held On
In the top of the 1st inning, the Tigers looked ready to pounce as Parker Meadows walked, and Riley Greene grounded out to move him to second. However, our defense held strong, with Matt Vierling popping out and Kerry Carpenter striking out looking.The Tigers did manage to score first when Spencer Torkelson singled, Jace Jung followed with another single, and Dillon Dingler hit one to bring Torkelson home. But, shout-out to our pitcher for keeping their damage to a minimum. At the end of the 2nd inning, the score was 1-0, Tigers.
Bellinger Leads The Charge! 
Things finally started heating up in the bottom of the 5th inning. After several quiet innings, Cody Bellinger became our hero. With Ian Happ walking and Michael Busch singling to get on base, it was all set for Bellinger. He doubled to right field, bringing both Happ and Busch home! We suddenly took the lead 2-1, and it was pure magic!Swanson's Majestic Homer! 
Our bullpen kept us in the game, and just when we needed an insurance run, Dansby Swanson stepped up in the bottom of the 6th inning. Swanson crushed a homer to left-center, sending the crowd into raptures and increasing our lead to 3-1. This gave us the cushion we needed going into the last innings.Closing It Out – Nail-Biting Finish 
The top of the 9th inning was tense! The Tigers tried to make a comeback, with Torkelson hitting a double to center. But our bullpen, anchored by a solid outing from Hodge, refused to buckle. With another strikeout from Jace Jung and Javier Báez going down swinging again (his third strikeout of the game!), we sealed the victory.Every pitch, every hit, and every defensive play mattered, and our Cubbies delivered when it counted the most. Let's keep this momentum going and root for more wins. Fly the W, everyone!
