Condensed MLB game highlights: Cubs outlast Dodgers 7-6 to win two-game series at Wrigley Field

Well that was fun. Great night last night and a beautiful night here tonight in Chicago. Pete Crow Armstrong with the appetizer last night. Hit that first home run. Kyle Tucker, the main course. Hit that two-run home run later in the game with that Ian Happ. The dessert, the check please. Walk-off single. Cubs looking for their second consecutive win against the Los Angeles Dodgers. All the action coming up here from Wrigley Field. One can only hope Cubs have taken the field as we get set for the Cubs and the Dodgers. The final regular season game between the two teams here in 2025. All right talking about the newcomer Kyle Tucker and his big contribution. Same for this man right here. The veteran left-hander Matthew Boyd's got his Cubs career off to a great start. And the first pitch. Swing and sky high to left. Ian Happ underneath it. One away. 1-0 from Boyd. Grounder to second. Nico to second for one to first. It's a double play. Perfection. 4-6-3. And L.A. goes down scoreless in the first. Boyd fires. That's it out the center. Pete Crow Armstrong makes the catch. Matt Boyd 1-2-3 hitting here in the second. Feeling four bases. Three of them on the first pitch of an at-bat. That's in a shallow left top play and the ball falls in. Bush to second. A near collision and a leadoff base runner for the Cubs here in the second. 3-2. Swings and misses. Right side Edmund Fields to first. Two outs. Contributions are getting from guys at the bottom of the batting order. Deep in the air to right field. Hernandez back at the warning track. Comes in. Makes the catch. A deep fly out ends the inning. Cubs scoreless. They strand a base runner. Nothing. Nothing. We'll go to the third. The payoff. Inside corner. Called third strike. Base hit. Austin Barnes. Porto stops at second. Barnes's third hit of the year. Dodgers have two on here in the third. 0-2. The air. Shallow right. Tucker in. Base hit. Shohei Otani with a single and that loads the bases here in the third. 0-1. Line caught. Michael Bush. Right place. Right time. Two away. There's baseball being baseball. A couple softies fall for hits and a rocket just turned into an out. Hang with them for Mookie Betts. Boyd fires. Unrug scores. Here comes another throw. A little bit late. Earlier in the year. Not the right center. Should be playable. Pete Crowe. Armstrong makes the catch. Ends the inning. Cubs trail two to nothing. Birdie. Swings and misses. Strike three. 1-1. Ground ball. Third baseline. Diving play by Rojas. Up over the first. Not in time. Once Rojas do his thing here. A bit for extra bases. You don't have to settle for one. Pail. From 0-2 to a walk. I think that describes Kyle Tucker right there his entire game. He doesn't freak out. That's it in a nutshell. That's it out the right center field. Hernandez makes the catch. Ends the inning. Cubs rally. Do not score. Strand a pair. It's two to nothing. Dodgers will go to the fourth. Swing and a miss. Strike three. Matthew Boyd. 1-2, three inning here in the fourth. Strikes out Michael Conforto to end it. Bottom four. Cubs trail two to nothing. Mansby in the center. Base hit. That was it on the screws. Now he's off. Doesn't matter. Hits it out the left center field. Pajes back at the warning track. It's into the bench. Pete Crow Armstrong. NBA Jam heating up. Homers in back-to-back games. Three-run shot. Cubs lead 3-2. I love the Chicago Cubs. It's a 2-0 fastball. A little sinking action. Pete able to drop the barrel on it and lift it out of here. The oh-so-friendly confines. Into the basket it goes. It's in the center field. PCA in. He dives. I don't think. Good look at the jump. Just a little short hop. Great effort. Back to Boyd. Second high throw. Nico can't hold the bag and everybody's safe. 0-1. Left field. Playable. Hap makes the catch. A fair amount of walks if you look at his big league track record. Throwback delivers the pickoff. Run scores. Mookie bets. RBI double. It's a 3-3 game. Hernandez into deep left field. Hap back. Warning track. It's gone. Big night for Teoscar Hernandez. He's driven in four. Two-run home run. Six of the year. The Dodgers reclaim the lead here in the fifth. It feels like a playoff atmosphere. Now both fan bases really into it here. Tucker draws another walk. Apparent injury. Justin Turner walks. Payoff. Ball four. Base set. Two-run score. Throw to third. Not in time. Dansby to second and we're tied. Nico in the air. Right field. Hernandez makes the catch. Runner tags up. Throw home is a strong one. It's not in time. Sack fly Nico Horner. Spaceman that can run like Michael Bush. He's not a burner but he's at least average and his base running has paid off big time in this inning to get the third on the base hit and now to score on the sack fly. The medium depth fly ball from Nico throws up the line just a little bit if that's right on the plate. Deep ground ball. Up the middle. Base hit. Dansby scores. Multi-hit game. Pete Crowe arms RBI single. It's seven to five Cubs. Swing and a miss. Throw to second. Not in time. Hashtag math. Into center. Pajes back. Makes the catch. Ends the inning. Fun inning. That's it. Well left field. Half back. At the track. At the wall. It is gone. Second consecutive night. Andy Pajes goes yard. Cubs lead cut to one. It's seven to six. Line drive to left. Hat comes in. He dives. He takes it on a hop. A third strike. 0-2. Ground ball to third. Down the third line. It's a base hit. Conforto stops at third. Barnes to second. It's a two-out double. Dansby makes the catch. Huge third out. Matthew Boyd. Swing and a miss. Strike three. So John Birdie tonight over three. Three Ks. One out here in the sixth. Lee Huey. Tucker lines it to the first base in Freeman. Makes the catch. Ends the inning. 1-2-3. Frame. Cubs seven. In a big league game since 2021. Thanks for that Elise. Lead off single here in the seventh. Mookie Betts. His third hit. Welcome back. Swing and a miss. Strike three. Tight little slider here. Gets the job done. The pitch. Drive center field. Peed into the gate. Daniel Palencia scoreless frame and it's the seventh inning stretch time. Dodgers pitching staff different from even when we saw him in Japan last month. Turner up the middle. It's off the glove. In the center field. In Oklahoma City. Blake Snell on the aisle. Runners off. No throw to second. Cubs looking for some insurance runs in the seventh. Good take. That was a good pitch. Just below the knees. Runners are off. Take it off the bat. Well he blocked the base. Yeah he did. Can't do that. Can't do that without the ball. Nowhere for him to go. Nope. Turn it to third. Rojas to first. The pop up right side. Edmond back. Makes the catch. Ends the inning. Cubs do not score but they do lead seven to six. 1-2 pitch. Got him. 1-2. Swing and a miss. Strike three. Julian Merriweather. 1-2-3 inning. Drive center field. Another three hit game for Petro Armstrong. He's off. Back to the screen. Wild pitch. PCA to third. 3-1. Ball fourth. Garcia delivers. Wave and a miss. Strike three. That's a rough night. That ground ball to second. Betts to first for one. It's a double play. The payoff. Soft liner to left. Half in. One out. Swing and a miss. Strike three. Down goes Shohei. The pitch. In the air. Center field. Right at Petro Armstrong. Cubs win. They sweep the Dodgers.
