Cubs 6, Red Sox 0: Taken deep too often
It got late early Saturday night, as the Cubs jumped on Brayan Bello for three runs thru two innings and never gave up a run on the way to a 6-0 victory. About the only thing that went right was keeping Reese McGuire hitless. He can get his own jollies. Three Studs Bryan Bello Yes, he got knocked around early, but he was in command after that, looking incredibly strong late, ending with those same 3 runs thru 6. What are ya gonna do? Masa Yoshida He had two hits. Abraham Toro He also had two hits, and a nifty play at first. Three Duds Chris Murphy The game was basically over when he came in, but gettin' taken deep three times in an inning isn't what you want. Reese McGuire Sad. Not Seeing Ryan Brasier He pitched the ninth. Marge is proud.

Cubs catcher Reese McGuire used his chest protector to make one of best catching plays in MLB history
You're going to have to watch this a few times. On Thursday night, Cubs catcher Reese McGuire made a play that almost doesn't make sense. On its surface, what happened was that on a pitch in the dirt, Guardians runner Kyle Manzardo tried to go from first to second, and McGuire threw him out. Advertisement But this wasn't your ordinary ball in the dirt. Have a watch: If you figured it out on the first try, congrats. If not, keep watching. MORE: Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, Cal Raleigh combine to make MLB history That baseball actually ended up lodged, temporarily, in McGuire's chest protector. Somehow, in the moment, he figured it out quickly enough to snatch it out, then from a slightly odd throwing position, deliver a strike to Dansby Swanson covering second base for the tag out. It's a remarkable play by the Cubs' backup catcher, one that you could watch over and over and not get tired of. Advertisement And it might be a long time before you see another catcher make a stop and throw-out quite like this one. MORE MLB NEWS:

June 26 - Ian Happ hit a homer and drove in three runs as the visiting Chicago Cubs rolled past the St. Louis Cardinals 8-0 Wednesday night. Reese McGuire hit a two-run homer and Kyle Tucker hit a solo shot for the Cubs, who won for the second time in their last seven games. Michael Busch (3-for-5, two runs, RBI) and Dansby Swanson (2-for-5, two runs) also had productive games for Chicago.

Chicago increased its advantage to 4-0 in the second inning. Swanson led off with a double and scored on Busch's single. After Fedde retired the next two batters, McGuire hit his two-run homer. Tucker's third-inning homer pushed the Cubs' advantage to 5-0. The Cubs expanded their lead to 7-0 in the fourth inning. Busch walked, stole second base and moved to third on a flyout to start the rally. After Matt Shaw walked and stole second base, Happ hit a two-run single. Chicago loaded the bases, but reliever John King got Pete Crow-Armstrong to hit an inning-ending groundout. Swanson struck out leading off the fifth, but he reached on a wild pitch to start another rally. Busch reached on an infield hit, Nico Hoerner hit a single and Shaw grounded into a run-scoring force play to make it 8-0.
