Justin steal a left hander got
knocked around by the reds in
Cincinnati when he faced the
reds.
Brandon drury, What a cool
story.
This guy has been steel back
into his wind up with a 22 pitch
and a swing and a miss and a
good fastball right on by
Brandon drury, he strikes out
and there's two gone.
The fastball of steel plays up a
little bit, he hides it, throws
the ball 95 96 miles an hour.
Hunter Green gets the ball for
the reds tonight, no scores the
cubs bat for the first time here
in the home first.
So now Ian Happ will come up to
hit.
Yeah that one last out towards
left center field and that's
going to touch down for him,
bang off the bullpen.
Castro Harris is going to send
Contreras Contreras to the play
tag.
See he got in under the tag said
will little really close play an
aggressive send an RBI double
and they're going to challenge
awfully close and the reds are
going to challenge this.
David going to challenge in the
first inning.
The runner is safe.
Cincinnati will lose their
chance for the remainder of the
game.
Niko horner at the plate runner
at third, two outs, two to swing
and a miss and Green getting
horner on the strike out his
second but the cubs get a run on
one hit.
Senzel he has had quite a road
trip thus far, nine for 16 5
game hitting streak getting
started there and now he's run
the count full three balls and
two strikes here to Garcia and
still comes calling swing and a
miss chased it off the outside
corner, back to back strikeouts
for the cub left hander two down
India ground ball to shortstop
in his first advance check swing
he went no appeal needed, gets
tagged out, put out, steel
strikes out all three in the
inning six so far in the ninth
one out for Tommy Pham
Tommy Pham has been struggling a
little bit here lately over his
last six games, just three for
24 high chopper up the middle,
right past the bare hand of
corner who fame's the throw.
It doesn't fool Tommy Pham we
saw one of these last night ball
comes right off the plate and
boy does it bounce very high
they just have some fire brick
underneath that plate.
Farmer was the first red to
reach chris and his hit lefties
incredibly well.
Farmer shoots this to right,
that's down Bassitt stop sign at
third velasquez and right fires
in a prudent hold by Jr house.
That was a nice play by
velasquez.
They would have had a play on
Tommy Pham of the plate.
Well, another good hitting by
Kyle Farmer, he got the first
breaking ball which was a really
good spot down and in then steal
comes back with another one but
this one catches part of the
plate.
Tommy Pham at third and now
Donovan Solano with the bases
loaded one out.
Okay online to center morale
coming on, makes the catch,
throw to the plate tag oh baby
what a throw Christopher Morel a
one hop laser and he cuts down
Tommy Pham And how about the
catch and tag drifting up the
line runners at 1st and 2nd,
nobody out in the fourth quarter
, struck out in his first at bat
, line drive, base hit to left
center field, here comes half
around to score wisdom on his
heels, Niko horner delivers and
they add to corner a two run
double.
You hang that pitch out over the
plate, he's already seen that
pitch in this at bat and just a
good level swing on a pitching
first and second base one out,
Jonathan India at the plate, the
11 pitch and India hits it
sharply to short fielded by
horner, nobody at second one
around the first that is a 643
inning ending double play
halfway through it at Wrigley
field in Chicago.
The cubs have a lead on the red
and that brings up Willson
Contreras hit by a pitch and
scored in the first inning,
grounded back to the pitcher is
last time up that's a high, hold
a look back to second base.
Now the pitch that's drilled
towards left center field, this
one's going back and that one is
gone.
Contreras will touch them all a
screamer into the bleachers in
left center and the cubs have
opened up a five lead.
He went out and got that one
like he knew it was coming,
sniffed it out and then smoked
it.
You're leading by five so you
give him another batter,
especially the fact that it's a
left handed batter.
The loan left handed batter just
happens to be Joey Votto 1st and
2nd, nobody out the pitch to
Votto swings and strokes into
the gap that is down base hit
wave on the third, awkward
sprawl by Morel drury scores,
Tommy Pham the third flips to
second, not in time.
Photo slides in with an RBI
double, the first extra base hit
for the reds tonight and their
first run.
It's 5 to 1.A good bit of
hitting right there by Joey
Votto going the other way with
it negotiating the left hander
out there, struck out the first
time, walked the second time
that breaking ball, which is a
good one there.
He went down into left center
field to see the visit arriving
on the mound.
Now with David ross out there,
steal walks off to applause The
reds chase the starter,
Christopher moral batting one
for two in the game three to and
that ball is drilled left field.
Forget it.
Oh baby!
! I mean he crushed it Morel
goes yard.
They had to Moore and the cups
enjoying it here tonight.
It's 71.
David with the pitch looking to
steal third base and then he
could downshift into jog mode
because absolutely obliterates
the baseball second hit of the
night.
He was a amora has flied out,
He's also bounced to third and
short those opposite way.
Fair ball that's going to get
Votto in.
Almora turns at first ball
gathered in right by velasquez
fire to second.
Offline.
Headfirst plunge into the bag,
double for Almora.
A second run for the reds, it's
seven to taking it right down
the right field line and there's
a lot of running room.
Rafael Ortega will dig back in,
put his equipment back on all
his protective gear three and
two.
Here we go.
Hi dr out towards right field.
That one is well struck and that
was caught by Al Morris.
Simmons will trot home, sac fly
will take it to drury one for
four in the game to left center
from drury gone.
Brandon, drury 16 home run.
It is not yet july and drury has
tied his career high for home
runs in the season.
Yeah.
Got him swinging ballgame cubs
win 83.
Your final good effort by steel
swarmer finishes it off
