Chicago Cubs prized rookie clubs first career home run on Tuesday
Chicago Cubs prized rookie clubs first career home run on Tuesday originally appeared on The Sporting News The Chicago Cubs have needed a lift. The Cubs started the first game of the Tuesday doubleheader against the Milwaukee Brewers nine games back in the National League Central. The Cubs were four up on Cincinnati, who is looking to grab one of the final three wildcard spots. But, Chicago started the day 7-9 in the month of August. The losing ways go back to after the All-Star Game, where they are just 13-15 since then. That's where Owen Caissie comes into play. In the lineup, and batting sixth for Chicago, taking the place of the struggling Kyle Tucker, he hit his first career long ball on Tuesday to extend the Chicago lead. The damage for Caissie started in the bottom of the first inning, when he drove in Pete Crow-Armstrong and Seiya Suzuki. The Cubs would eventually go ahead 5-0, before Milwaukee stormed back to within a run. That's when Caissie gave Chicago a little insurance with a deep home run to center field. It was good to see the rookie in the lineup for just the fourth time this season following his call-up on August 14. He had just one hit coming into this game, but finished with two more on Tuesday. The struggling Tucker has just eight hits the entire month of August, and has yet to hit a home run this month.

Matthew Boyd picked up the win following an outing that went 5.1 innings, allowing six hits and four runs. The bullpen did not allow a run over the final 11 outs of the game. Chad Patrick took the loss for the Brewers. Patrick finished five innings, allowing those five runs on five hits. The nightcap will feature Brandon Woodruff for Milwaukee and Jameson Taillon for the Cubs.

Caissie homers as the Cubs hold off the Brewers for a 6-4 win in doubleheader opener
CHICAGO (AP) — Owen Caissie homered and drove in three runs, and the Chicago Cubs held off the Milwaukee Brewers for a 6-4 win in the opener of a split doubleheader on Tuesday. Willi Castro also went deep as Chicago won for the third time in four games. Four Cubs relievers combined for 3 2/3 innings of two-hit ball after Matthew Boyd (12-6) departed in the sixth. Chicago (71-54) pulled within eight games of NL Central-leading Milwaukee (79-46). The teams were originally scheduled for a doubleheader on Monday, but the second game was postponed by rain. Christian Yelich homered for Milwaukee, and Sal Frelick had two hits and two RBIs. It was just the third loss for the Brewers in their last 21 games. Chicago built a 5-0 lead on Caissie's two-run single in the first and Castro's three-run shot off Chad Patrick (3-8) in the third. It was Castro's first homer since he was acquired in a July 31 trade with Minnesota. But Milwaukee quickly started chipping away at the deficit. Yelich opened the fourth with his 26th homer, and Frelick singled home Brandon Lockridge in the fifth. Frelick added another RBI single in a two-run sixth. Caissie then gave the Cubs a boost with his first major league homer, a 381-foot drive to left-center off Shelby Miller that made it 6-4 in the bottom half of the sixth. The 23-year-old Caissie singled in the seventh inning of Monday's 7-0 loss in the series opener for his first big league hit. Caleb Thielbar and Drew Pomeranz each pitched an inning for Chicago before Daniel Palencia handled the ninth for his 17th save in 19 chances. Key moment The Brewers had runners on second and third with two out in the sixth when Brad Keller struck out Caleb Durbin swinging, preserving the Cubs' 5-4 lead. Key stat The Cubs improved to 5-5 in the season series against the Brewers. Up next Brandon Woodruff (4-0, 2.06 ERA) starts for Milwaukee in the second game, and fellow right-hander Jameson Taillon (7-6, 4.44) pitches for Chicago. ___ AP MLB:

Mariners' Victor Robles suspended 10 games for throwing bat at pitcher
Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles has received a 10-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for his conduct during the top of the third inning in Sunday afternoon's game in Las Vegas during a rehab assignment, Major League Baseball announced Tuesday. Robles is currently with the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers of the Pacific Coast League as he recovers from a shoulder injury. Las Vegas starter Joey Estes' first pitch to Robles in the third inning was inside and Robles whacked at it to avoid getting hit. After taking a few steps behind the plate and dropping his bat, Robles picked up the bat and threw it in Estes' direction and was immediately ejected from the game by home plate umpire Joe McCarthy. Robles, who has been hit by a pitch three times in his previous four games with Tacoma, took some steps toward the mound while yelling at the pitcher but was held back by McCarthy and Las Vegas teammates. The suspension is to be effective on the first day Robles returns to the Mariners' active roster. He is appealing, so the disciplinary action is on hold until that process is complete. ___ AP MLB:
