Tigers vs. Cubs Game Highlights (7/21/26) | MLB Highlights

Coming up tonight it is game two Tigers and the Cubs coming at you to have a rocket series so far coming up as the Cubs look to bounce back from last night's loss David Peterson is on the mound the big left hand from Oregon and the University of Oregon number one first round pick by the New York Beds back in twenty seventeen. And here is Kevin McGonigal. Peterson. Get the out Bush turning in a gold glove season at first base and he got some help from the left hander three up three down. We played a half inning Cubs now get ready to face the 32 year old native of the Dominican Republic from Valdez making his twentieth start of the year. Pete Crowe Armstrong to lead things off the two main areas where Pete Crowe Armstrong has really made his move and that is in terms of plate discipline and in terms of hitting left. Cubs have met at first and third nobody out and now you're into the middle of the batting order as the number three hitter Alex Bregman is stepping in inside it might have hit him it did hit him. It raised him in the uniforms so you know I've always advocated for baggy clothes and right there is just another example of why. And so now they're loaded up here's Carson Kelly. The manager is to get men on base in front of somebody that can drive them in to nothing lead for the Cubs four batters in and there's still nobody out because he's thrown twenty eight pitches has not recorded an out. Michael Bush steps in. The Bush continues to do the job against lefties three nothing comes. You've got a guy that's missing the World Series. He's making a lot of money one of the best left in the game and he is frustrated now throwing the Rosen back down on the ground. The Cubs have a right where they want it. And now it's Niko. Water. That's a basic Kelly Scott for a moment and so to hold him up a third and now the bases are reloaded and still nobody out and the batter is Ian Hamel in the air shallow right fielder Jerry but he's safe and the Cubs and it's for nothing with the wind howling in the second baseman Torres never goes after this ball. This ball lands 15 feet past the infield dirt and right fielder just doing everything possible to get to this ball and he didn't come close and everybody just says it's his fighting the wind. He makes the catch. Everything is going to be an absolute joy ride without the joy tonight. Well this might be a good time for one of those curveballs get a swing and a miss. OK here we go. You're a smart man. You know that that's a big out right there. The Cubs have batted around and Pete Armstrong who led off the inning with a triple will back for the second time and this time with the bags loaded. Pete Armstrong gets a run batted in with the bases loaded walk and that is good night to the outing of Framboise Valdez A.J. Hinch needed innings and he didn't get an inning from his starting pitcher time Madden just back from Toledo takes over on the mound for the Tigers. Suzuki draws his second walk of the inning which sounds kind of strange to even say and it's now six nothing Cubs and the batter is Alex Bregman fly ball straight away. Matt Bierling comes charging in to make the catch and mercifully after about twenty five minutes the Cubs are done hitting and now a leadoff face up on Algeria and the batter is Jake Rogers their catcher. A little roller towards third Redman picks it up. His game clock as an infielder is spectacular. Bregman took one extra step and got rid of the ball right away and made that play look easy and it is not. Jerry advanced to second Gleyber Torres will step in in the air softly hit right field pushing foul. Back to second great job the Jaguars long stride did it in a foul ground and with that pink glove was able to grab it. Whoa what a play going down. Now we've heard about it. Swing and a miss struck him out. Good work by Peterson Dansby Swanson popped out his first time up inside for Swanson draws the walk once and running the pitch inside stolen base. You might think it's six to nothing and eight. All right. No you don't because all you do is think back to last night when Detroit scored four in the top of the first and the next two in the eighth inning were tied up the two to Alcantara swing and a miss wins the toss competition sizzles it into the netting by the on deck circle and then lands it. The landing was very good. White in the on deck circle one out the man at second Pete Armstrong stepping in line drive base hit to right Swanson goes to third. He's going to try to score. Here comes the throw to the plate. It is not in time. Pete goes to second base. Cubs lead seven to nothing. That's what's called trading places. Pete Armstrong now is halfway to the cycle. He has a triple and a single. It's his second RBI of the game and his fifty fifth run batted in this season. Not too bad for a leadoff batter run and you're still in July. Pitching change Brennan Hennepin sixteen appearances a three forty five ERA leadoff man on here in the fifth inning. Now Michael Conforto will pinch hit Kevin Alcantara. And if there's a place the ball is still going to carry with the wind blowing in from left it's straight right off a left handed bat who's going to hook that ball and then play the wind. And it's just like drawing a ball a driver in golf. And that's exactly what Conforto did. That is a neat strong man. Left handed David Peterson still on the mound. He is pitching a tremendous game tonight. Five shutout innings first pitch to Rogers bounce right back to the mound fielded by Peterson throws the first one pitch one away. See you later. Labor Torres down on strikes and there's two away swing a line drive base hit into right center. Gotta go pick up the Tigers third hit of the night two out single here in the sixth inning down nine is a bouncing ball a short scooped up by Swanson goes to second there's the force that's the other six shutout innings for David Peterson Riley Green's nobody out with a man first swing and a miss and Green is out on strikes and David Peterson still with some good stuff that was a heartbreaking ball. There's a fly ball to left it's playable for Ian half and he's going to snare it for the second out of the inning. Greg counts is going to go out and get David Peterson. Let's listen to the crowd. Showing their appreciation for Peterson very nice ovation for David. He gets congratulations from all of his teammates and a pitching change five star a man at first nobody out. Cubs lead eleven to nothing and Dylan Dingler steps in Dingler in the air testing the win left center field it's gone hits last night two more tonight and no shutout for the Cubs. Cubs eleven to two. You love a guy who plays to the final whistle so that'll load the bags and the game will keep on going with two outs in the top of the ninth inning. Even up the series with an eleven to two win and they get to 13 games above five hundred again. Offense comes out immediately in a very difficult day to hit. They bang the ball around the yard and you know when you do that and you start out with a six run first good things usually finish up.
