Cubs vs. Cardinals Game Highlights | 6/16/24

Jamison Tye on the veteran right hander takes the mound today's made ten starts a three up two down a three point zero nine B.R.A. Mason when the St. Louis designated hitter leads off that shot toward right Mike Tuchman is there and handles that cleanly one up and one man down. Alec Burleson jumps at the first one drives that toward that tackles there and very quickly two men are out here in the top of the Cardinals first Paul Goldschmidt the Cardinals first baseman is one for eight so far in the series. There's a shot headed for the left field corner Goldschmidt turned on that baby and he's aboard with a two out single for St. Louis a battle of the Highlanders here Goldschmidt and Kyle both graduates of the Woodlands High School in Woodlands Texas and Goldschmidt with a lead at first for Nolan Gorman and a shot to center field that's going to drop for a hit good base running for Goldschmidt off with the crack of the bat the Cardinals have runners first and third with two outs here in the opening inning Nolan Arradondo is looking more and more like himself in St. Louis. Norman takes off the throw to second is going to be way in front of the bag and Nolan Gorman has his third stolen base in St. Louis now two runners in scoring position and he chased time with a big breaking ball pitches out of first and third with two outs the veteran right hitter Myles Michaelis come out of that dugout you might as well be ready to hit because he's going to get after your first pitch strike a high percentage of the time two quick strikes to talk and got a chase a swing and a miss. Talkman didn't think he went around but he's rung up by Paul Clemens and Michael has has his first strikeout of day. Christopher Morales next and hits one in the air to center Michael Siani retreats a step for three and picks that away for out number two and this one on the ground a second Gorman retreats and first in time an efficient first inning for Myles Michaelis Cardinal shortstop Brandon Crawford backing up Mason with his love hitting here at Wrigley. He splits the gap in the right center that's going to bounce into the Ivy and Crawford on his way to second. He's got a one out double in the Cardinals have their third man in scoring position on the day. This is a center cut fastball from Tyone. Brandon Crawford's always been able to hit the fastball. So another chance for St. Louis the Cardinals all for one with runners in scoring position Crawford Boyd with one out for Pedro Páez high towering fly ball toward left and going back back up against with a win blown homer for the Cardinals. It's two nothing St. Louis Pedro Páez excellent weekend just got a little bit better didn't it. Follows up the Crawford double with his second home run of the weekend second home run of his big league career. An ambush from the bottom of the batting order it's a breaking pitch and it's up. Páez made his dad after the game on Friday his dad was sobbing uncontrolled. Pedro said he was hoping to keep it together. He couldn't. And what a Father's Day weekend for Pedro Páez two balls two strikes that one headed for right center field that's down for three consecutive hits for the Cardinals a double. A homer and a single from as you said the bottom of the order that turns the lineup guard back to the top and see how he's going to be picked off. He could have moved for Tyrone he really and that's the second out of the inning. A big man but Tyrone with a pretty quick feet and a quick snap throw to first base. He clearly had intentions of stealing second here. You see him leaning matter Michael Bush catching the ball and applying the tag and win chases in the left hand batter's box and that ends the Cardinals second inning. Say a Suzuki leads off for the Cubs and a perfect pitch freezes Suzuki dropped his arm angle a little bit and has his second strikeout. Not this time though Michael has heats him up ninety two miles an hour and has back to back strikeouts Paul Goldschmidt will have another chance here sharply hit a base hit Goldschmidt two for two two outs. And here's Arnauto who struck out with to a board and first on the ground. Speaking of shortstop sliding Swanson is going to get Arnauto by a stride at the first base bag. Dansby Swanson a heck of a play Brandon Donovan a gold lover took out a chunk of Ivy on a catch up against the wall. Michael Bush with a bid for extra bases the other way. Appreciate it. Myles Michaelis with a round of applause for his left fielder who's been busy shall we say and left in this having having a nice chat with some of the fans on the bleachers. Soft contact Crawford catch a run. Does and still got his man after a double clutch Michael Lewis has his third ground ball out of the game. He has sat down nine straight talk and drives one in the right and that'll drop in front of Burleson for the first Cubs hit of the ballgame. And so talk about it first for Suzuki two away. That's going to sneak through for a base hit Suzuki with a single and the Cubs have to aboard with two outs in the fourth inning. Nice piece of hitting by Suzuki and that brings up in half with a chance to change the game in an instant as this one up toward the middle of the diamond. It's an infield hit for Michael has got the soft contact he wanted but no chance to get in half. And all of a sudden the Cubs have the bases loaded in the fourth inning with two outs a big spot for Nico Horner. Now the crowd of Wrigley getting into the game bases loaded two outs. The pair is on the ground left side. Crawford goes the short one close play and in time Bang Bang play at second half forced for the moment. Cubs are going to challenge it. But the call on the field was out at second and if he's safe the Cubs will have their first run of the game. A big turning point here in the fourth inning. After a view on the field stands. Great hustle by Hap but the call stands. He's out by an eyelash. The Cubs lose their challenge and leave the bases loaded in the fourth trailing to nothing to the arch rival Cardinals. A bullet in the center that'll drop in front of Bellinger for a base hit. Aronado one for three today. Three to pitch runner goes and a breaking ball take it outside. Crawford walks for the second time the inning continues for St. Louis. Pedro Paz has bats with two on now and two outs Paz first pitch swinging pops it up into the sunshine Horner on the right side gives way in right to Tuchman first time holding a shutout into the sixth inning here at Wrigley Field. This is his ninth career start here. He begins his third trip through the lineup. A swing and a miss that takes care of Tuchman. Michael Lewis picks up his fourth strikeout strike three pull the string on Morrell and has back to back punch outs in the sixth inning. Michael Lewis is pitching today at Wrigley Field and he's got two outs diving stop to flex off Goldschmidt flips to the pitcher covering and they got it. An amazing play by Goldschmidt and Myles Michael Lewis who stretched out at the last moment. He is through six shutout innings at Wrigley Field in Chicago. The Cubs make a pitching change. Drew Smiley is the first on in relief today. That one shot over a second it's a base hit. So Burleson has his third hit of the series and the inning continues with Paul Goldschmidt who stung the ball three times today on the ground the third Wells got it. A double is in time to nothing St. Louis after the stretch and Myles Michael Lewis goes to work with the heart of the order coming up. Michael is on a great run 14 consecutive scoreless innings dating back to his last outing against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He might be tested right away. No it's going to be Siani who calls him off and Michael is there for the Cardinals eight up and eight down for Myles Michael Lewis. So Michael Lewis versus half this one hook toward the right field corner that one's down for a base hit and got at least two Carlson Dixon out of the corner and half will stop at second. That's the first extra base hit for Chicago and that brings the tying run to the plate. Outstanding effort for Michael Lewis today. Ian Hap drops the head on that pitch in a two nothing game. Myles Michael Lewis departs with the lead Myles Michael is out after six in the third innings and now Ryan Fernandez is on the pitch for St. Louis Michael Michael Bush over to to strike pitch is lifted toward left Donovan's not going to catch that. That's going to score the first run of the game for Chicago and opposite field to strike it for Bush. It's a two one game. Michael Bush has had good swings all afternoon for the Cubs. This time he goes up again shoots his ball to left field the back door breaker. So the Cubs are right back in this game. It's a two one score if it's Donovan. He's over three and he pokes a single in the right field went down and combed that baby and Donovan is aboard. He's one for four. Another lefty is coming up Brandon Crawford. Crawford has doubled scored and walked twice a little hammy bite and only Marmole and the trainer bouncing out of the dugout looking looking to go yard right there right sitting on one taking a big leg kick. So Crawford will not be able to continue. Jose for me will come on and pinch hit. I mean digs in and pops the first pitch up right side. Bush in foul ground at the first base coaching box is there. He makes the play and that will retire the side. And here is a pinch runner Armstrong. He's going to pitch way outside. No chance for Pahas. And Pahas makes a sliding grab for the first down. O'Marelle's bid to tie the game is denied by Brendan Donovan. So it's up to say a Suzuki runner at third and two outs. A swing and a miss. Here comes the high octane offerings of Helmsley's. He has saved twenty three games including game one here. And now it's up to Dansby Swanson to keep the game alive for the Cubs runner at second two outs Helmsley's three one pitch. It was a slider. He bounced it. Swanson takes a walk. He's the winning run. The Cubs will go to their bench with two on and two outs. And it's Patrick Wisdom. The pitch fly ball racing Thursday Sunday. The St. Louis Cardinals take two out of three at Wrigley Field to one is the final score.
