Sasaki's 1-1 popped up left side of the diamond for Max Muncy and there's the
first shot. In terms of approach bounces this one down to third and it should be
two. Muncy to Cleland over to first a double play. That's a strikeout one gone in the first inning.
Eight pitch to Muncy Ohtani runs again and a ball that goes 5-4 to the
backstop and he's easily into second. He throws and Tucker grounds one up the
middle. Horner dives to get there. Shovels to second in time.
Routine. High pop fly into Shetland up centerfield. Swanson backs out there and
makes the catch. Dodgers strand a pair in the first. I can't imagine Cora taking
over the Phillies next week but that's going to be speculated upon.
Fastball turned on left centerfield headed back and gone. Seah Suzuki on two
strikes. Gets off his ace swing and the Cubs strike first. And take the plate
vertically in halves. By Asteros lines one to centerfield right at Pajes.
Swanson bounces it down to third. Muncy's got it and that'll do it for the Cubs in
the second but they get on the board first. They did go up with a fastball.
Pajes smacked it to right centerfield. Suzuki back to catch it. He runs 2-2.
Freeland lines the ball to centerfield. PCA goes back and puts it away and now
PCA will come up. Strikes out on three pitches here. Horner flies it to right
routine for Kyle Tucker. Two gone in the third. Amaya heads for third. Tucker's
throw is cut off. On a 2-1. Bush rips a line. Drive to right to make it 2-0.
Bush drives in Amaya. And the Cubs take advantage of Sasaki hitting the nine
hitter. Plus the ball in the dirt and two to nothing here in the third. The
pressure on Bregman. That's a perfect execution on the spot. Big ol' bounce
over to first. Bush waits on it but his only play is to Ray.
Ripped to right centerfield and deep. Suzuki's going back and watching it fly over the wall.
It's a tie game. Max Muncy with a home run and it's 2-2.
