D-backs vs. Cubs Game Highlights (5/3/26) | MLB Highlights

We have Matthew Boyd on the mound J.D. but it's in play that he's been giving up a lot of hard hit balls and walking people. So I mean we're eating and he's into it for Matthew Boyd this year. Hit rate is going to regulate here. Slow start for Marte standards to twenty three hitter wave and a miss strike three batter face one strikeout for Matthew Boyd to the grip circle change turns it over Aldo Perdomo pop up for Aldo Perdomo Carson Kelly two down top one here's the one to swing and a miss strike three Boyd gets Carroll with a slider and a diamond backs go down in order here on the top of the first four start for the right hander Merrick Kelly Merrill's had a rough time of it searching for those lost mechanics candy losses to the White Sox and the Brewers in his last two starts and he slams this up into the wind. Jorge Barrosa has got to try the warning trick. This is by Starros. This is series right on cue Moises Baez Sarris Mo hits a one out single here in the first one on one out for the Cubs here in the first. Hard to short Jerry little bubble Marty turns it nice recovery by Perdomo Marty with the turn and Merrill Kelly gets the inning ending double play ask to foul pop ups now that Carson Kelly is not start this game. Perdomo fouled out to Carson and now Vargas brings up Nolan Arenado batting two seventy six. He's got five homers Arenado slams it to the gap and that one gets to the Ivy half is on it pretty quickly and he has some trouble pulling it out of there and Arenado chugs in the second with a stand up double. Well he really nailed this ball to one hundred five miles an hour shot it right through that left center field gap batter is Lourdes Gurriel junior left fielder hitting a swing and a miss strike three ninety two mile per hour heater Reno did not play yesterday over five on Friday Moreno hits it in the air. This is headed for the bleachers and it's gone the first to the air for Gabby and it's to nothing. Diamondbacks just get it up and the wind's going to do the rest but that didn't need any wind. That thing was hammered off the bat of Moreno at one hundred five miles an hour. Number one for Gabby they have the early lead in Chicago. Never a doubt this is loud off the bat. That would even cheap. That was three quarters of the way up the bleachers four hundred and twenty seven feet. Oh the dangerous Ian Hap leads off the second against Merrill Kelly swings and misses and Kelly with the strikeout to start the bottom of the second. So far so good. He's got a double play ball and a strikeout one away for Suzuki the right fielder called strike three the sinkers there. No challenge from Suzuki back to back strikeout start the Cub second. Michael Bush stands in he swings and it's a high pop fly shallow left center going back for Domo the shortstop racing in the center fielder and Baroza can't make the catch. Bush ends up at second base. Cubs catch a break. Now this is one of those plays again it's a Wrigley Field play for Domo going out and you knew he was in trouble right away and this ball drops in. Let's see if the Cubs take advantage two down a man at second. We'd love to see Kelly make them pay. Lee right side and it's in the right center field for a base and that's it. Bush round started scores RBI single Carson Kelly and the Cubs are on the board here in the second. Kelly beat Kelly and this time Carson wins the battle against Merrill. Here's Pete Crow Armstrong and the one Oh Crow Armstrong it's a ground ball base hit in the right center field Kelly on his way to third base PCA will cruise in the second with a double the big spot in the game here for the Cubs. Dansby Swanson will dig in men at second and third with two away in the second Cubs down by one tweaking the best got him with a slider and that'll do it for the Cubs in the second. They get a run on three hits and spread to two away Rondo Perdomo at the plate that smack down the line off the bat of Perdomo and it's in the corner. He's got extra bases and Apple fish it out of the Ivy and Jerry puts on the brakes at second another hard hit ball ninety nine off the bat. I love to see a big hit right here for Corbin. He really needs anything to get him going here. I'll rose it over to second Nikko ends the top of the third Perdomo is stranded at second base top third of the Cubs order here to start the third against Merrill Kelly Horner grounds one deep in the hole it's short backhanded by Perdomo jump throw to first not in time in field single Nikko Horner he extends that on base streak to 13 games. So here comes Moises Ballesteros the Cubs designated hitter singled his first time up Moises Ballesteros left center field Garreau to the wall it's gone. I guess it doesn't matter much where the infielders are the one when you do that Ballesteros who had been a little quiet since that grand slam in San Diego Wyatt no longer Homer number six to run shot. It is three to two Cubs so two down as Suzuki stands in Kelly delivers say a Ritz one line drive base hit the left past the lunging Arenado three one Cubs are hitting the ball hard against Kelly in this frame and the Cubs threatening once again now men at first and second after Bush draws the walkie to bring up Carson Kelly for the Cubs grounded to third Arenado fields it cleanly sets his feet and the throw to first in time that'll do it for the Cubs in the third they get two on the home run by Ballesteros and then they scram two more two away it's going to bring up Garreau who struck out his first time up as there's a swing in a line drive base hit into right Riel the board with a two out single it's going to bring up now Moreno who had a two run over his first time up to second he's spinning it up to first and it ends a half inning Riel stranded on the base his middle for second walk issued by Kelly and something to keep an eye on here as we get deeper into the outing Alex Bregman the hitter grounded into a double play in the first inning the 0 2 to Bregman is hit on the ground to Arenado at 30 makes an awkward late throw to second and in there safely is Moises Ballesteros a rare mistake from the multi platinum gold glove winner Nolan Arenado at third base comes out first and second with nobody out here in the fifth and a half works a second consecutive walk from Merrill Kelly bases are loaded for Seah Suzuki here in the fifth called strike three the sliders there and Suzuki will challenge and it just nipped the edge of the zone and the Cubs lose the challenge here's Michael Bush with the bases loaded he hits one down the right field line into the corner and fair to run score here comes hat throw to third not in time bases clearing triple Michael Bush have a game but she comes out of the lead here in the Rockett to try to meet his eye Bushwack into the right field corner Michael Bush bases clearing three back or two for two today Carol Ford with a walk here is this is going to bring a bill tomorrow Vargas D-Backs trailing six to two in the sixth inning off top of foul as we pop up to second by Nikko Horner to throw to first and he's out what a play by Nikko from second base makes the catch and turns it into a four three double play just your routine for three D.P. a chance now for Barossa with two on a two up all right you've got a couple guys on base this is what you want go out here we go three and two Barossa will challenge this is a chance to flip the count in a big spot it's worth a gamble right here and Jorge was right great at bat terrific at bat by Barossa look at that it missed by a tenth of an inch what a weapon the ABS can be when you use it correctly now it's a whole different inning you got bases loaded for Cattell Marte you want to take advantage of it. Get a miss strike three Phil Mayton big strikeout of Cattell Marte on three pitches and he strands the bases loaded in half draws a lead off block to begin the last of the seven and see if Suzuki can do a little damage here. Clubs at the left Burrell can't get it off the wall in half stops at third says Suzuki to second second hit of the game comes in business here with the seventh they've got met at second and third and no one out big RBI guy today Michael Bush with the three run triple early in the game is chance to add to his totals now pop up the right Morgan Carroll underneath it makes the catch and tags up throws cut up and scores. It's a four RBI day for Michael Michael Bush sacrifice fly say at a third seven to two Cubs was Carson Kelly they got the scoring started for the Cubs Kelly Ripson Paz Perdomo and in the left field for an RBI single say his scores second hit for Carson Kelly it's eight to two Cubs another one of those games that we've seen so often from this Cub lineup up and down the lineup guys contributing to on and one out for half his walk twice hit the second nice play Marte to second and it's dropped Perdomo dropped it everybody's safe by this ball really pulled Marte things just seem to keep going in the wrong direction for the Diamondbacks Cubs have the bases loaded here in the bottom of the eighth inning with just one away say a Suzuki do up and how about Paul Sewell comes in make short work of saying Suzuki and we'll deal with the red hot Michael Bush who's knocked in for the Chicago strike three no challenge as Paul Sewell comes in puts out the fire a couple of strikeouts we go to the ninth trailing eight to two but I'm in back to down to the last out everybody on their feet here in Wrigleyville Cubs looking for the sweep now a pinch hitter Adrian Del Castillo will hit for Jorge Barroso D-Beck's trailing eight to two got it up into the wind is they going to carry it enough it's on it's way and it's gone Adrian Del Castillo takes it out to center and the Diamondbacks aren't done yet that's exactly what Torrey Lovela was hoping for see if Dell with his power can get it up in that wind and it blew it right out of here now a chance for Marte Diamondbacks down with their final strike strike three Cubs win Sunday win means a series sweep eleven in a row at Wrigley eight four Cubs win Cubs fans sing it.
