Ex-Red Sox catcher hits 2 home runs in first MLB game in 10 months
Reese McGuire made an immediate impact for the Chicago Cubs in his first game with the club. The former Boston Red Sox catch hit two home runs — including one in his first at-bat — to propel Chicago to an 11-8 comeback win over the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday after being recalled from Triple-A Iowa earlier in the day. Advertisement It marked the first time McGuire played in an MLB game since July 2024 while he was with the Red Sox. 'I'm just thankful for this opportunity to be back here,' an emotional McGuire told Marquee Sports Network's Taylor McGregor after the game. 'What a team to be a part of, and that was a fun game. I worked really hard to get back here." McGuire's first home run came in his first at-bat. The second came in the eighth inning which tied the game at 8-8 en route to the comeback victory. He originally wasn't in Sunday's starting lineup, but a late scratch of Carson Kelly due to illness. The veteran catcher spent three seasons with the Red Sox before he was designated for assignment last June. In 161 games for Boston, he batted .264 with a .315 on-base percentage, seven home runs, 20 doubles and 46 RBI. Advertisement McGuire signed a minor league deal with the Cubs in January. He was released on May 16 but returned to the Windy City and assigned to Triple-A last week. More Red Sox coverage Read the original article on MassLive.

Seiya Suzuki and Reese McGuire homer in the 8th to rally Cubs to victory over Reds
Seiya Suzuki and Reese McGuire homered in the eighth inning and the Chicago Cubs rallied for an 11-8 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. Nico Hoerner and Pete Crow-Armstrong drove in two runs apiece as the NL Central Division leaders took their fourth straight three-game series. Austin Hays had two hits and drove in three runs for Cincinnati, which has dropped four of five. McGuire — called up from Triple-A Iowa — homered in the second and then tied it at 8 with a solo shot to right off Taylor Rogers (1-2) and the first two-homer game in his eight-year, big-league career. McGuire became the third player since 1900 to homer twice in his first game with the Cubs after Earl Webb on April 12, 1927, and Jim Marshall on Aug. 24, 1958. The 30-year old catcher was a late addition to the lineup after Carson Kelly was scratched due to illness. After Ian Happ drew a walk and Kyle Tucker's base hit, Suzuki connected on an elevated sinker by Luis Mey and drove it over the left-field wall to put the Cubs on top for good. It was the second three-run homer in the series for Suzuki, who went 7 for 12 in the weekend three-game set. Drew Pomeranz (2-0), the fourth of six Chicago pitchers, got the win with a scoreless inning. Key moment The Cubs trailed 8-4, but began their rally by putting up three in the sixth inning. Hoerner drove in two with a double and came home on a base hit by Michael Busch. Key stat Chicago has 12 games with 10 or more runs, the Cubs' most through 54 games since 13 in 1898, according to Major League Baseball. Chicago scored 21 of its 28 runs in the series in the seventh through ninth innings. Up next Cubs: Return home on Monday to open a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies. Reds: RHP Nick Martinez (2-5, 3.43 ERA) takes the mound for the opener of a three-game set at Kansas City on Monday.

Cubs post 8 unanswered runs to complete comeback over Reds
May 25 - Seiya Suzuki hit a go-ahead, three-run home run in the eighth inning, Reese McGuire homered twice in his Chicago debut, and the visiting Cubs scored eight unanswered runs to pull out an 11-8 victory over the Cincinnati Reds in the rubber match of their three-game series on Sunday afternoon. Suzuki, who also doubled, finished 3-for-4 with three RBIs and two runs scored and moved into the National League RBI lead with 49. Pete Crow-Armstrong had two hits and two RBIs and Nico Hoerner had a two-run double and scored twice for Chicago, which won for the seventh time in nine games. McGuire, who had his contract selected from Triple-A Iowa earlier Sunday when Miguel Amaya went on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain, got the start when backup catcher Carson Kelly was scratched with an illness. It was the first multi-homer game of McGuire's career. Drew Pomeranz (2-0) picked up the win with a scoreless inning of relief in the bottom of the seventh, and Daniel Palencia picked up his second save with a scoreless ninth. Austin Hays went 2-for-4 with a triple, two runs scored and three RBIs for Cincinnati, while Jose Trevino doubled, singled and drove in two runs. Elly De La Cruz, TJ Friedl and Matt McLain each added two hits for Cincinnati. Taylor Rogers (1-2), who gave up three runs on two hits and a walk without retiring a batter, took the loss. Chicago took a 2-0 lead in the top of the first on a two-run single by Crow-Armstrong, his eighth and ninth RBIs in the three-game series. Cincinnati answered with four runs in the bottom of the first to grab a 4-2 advantage as Hays, Trevino and Will Benson each logged RBI singles. Trevino also scored on a wild pitch. McGuire made it 4-3 in the second with a home run to right in his first at-bat as a Cub, a 372-drive just over the glove of Benson. The Reds extended the lead to 8-3 in the fifth with four runs on five hits highlighted by a two-run triple into the left-field corner by Hays, an RBI double by Trevino and an run-scoring single by De La Cruz. The Cubs made it 8-4 in the sixth when Hoerner, who had walked, scored on a wild pitch. Chicago narrowed the gap further with three runs in the seventh, with Hoerner delivering the big blow: a two-run double that one-hopped the wall in left-center. McGuire then tied it at 8-8 as he led off the eighth against Rogers with a home run down the right-field line. Ian Happ followed with a walk and advanced to second on a single by Kyle Tucker. Suzuki then blasted his 14th homer of the year to cap the comeback. --Field Level Media
