Cubs home runs flew out of Wrigley Field as we have never seen them before.
The Cubs first hit seven home runs in a game at Wrigley Field in the second game of a doubleheader against the Mets June 11, 1967. Among the long-ball hitters that afternoon were Hall of Famers Ernie Banks and Ron Santo.
That franchise record had been tied three times, before Friday, when Cubs batters sent eight baseballs out of the yard against the Cardinals and demolished...
The Chicago Cubs took a big step in their bid to win a series over a plus-.500 team for the first time since they won both games over the Los Angeles Dodgers in April.

Go get ‘em, Colin.
The Cubs are placing starting pitcher Jameson Taillon on the 15-day injured list with a strained right calf. The team revealed the news to reporters (including Patrick Mooney of The Athletic) this morning and confirmed the transaction shortly thereafter.
The Chicago Cubs placed right-hander Jameson Taillon on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right calf strain. Manager Craig Counsell told reporters he expects Taillon to be sidelined for more than a month for an injury that occurred during a between-start workout.

This is a surprise.
The Cubs today recalled left-handed pitcher Jordan Wicks from Triple-A Iowa. In a corresponding move, the Cubs placed right-handed pitcher Jameson Taillon on the injured list (retroactive to July 1) with a right calf strain.
Wicks has one save, a 4.06 ERA and 46 strikeouts in 12 games (11 starts) with Iowa this season. In his last five starts dating to May 18, he has posted a 1.65 ERA (3 ER/16.1 IP) with 20...

The Cubs host their biggest rivals for the first time in 2025.
Today’s roster move: Here
Friday notes...
HAPPY FOURTH: The Cubs have played a single game at home against the Cardinals on Independence Day only three times before. They lost all three, by 3-2 in 1909 on the West Side Grounds and by 10-5 in 1951 and 11-8 in 2008 at Wrigley Field. The teams have played 10 doubleheaders on the Fourth of July in Chicago. The Cubs won 12 of the 20 games....
Friday’s holiday game threads are all right here.

What, YOU again?
After not seeing the Cardinals for the first 77 games of 2025, now they’ll have seven games against them in a 13-game sequence. Thanks, schedule-makers.
Hopefully this one works out better than the one last week.
For more on the Cardinals, here’s Heather Simon, manager of our SB Nation Cardinals site Viva el Birdos, with a nod to the Fourth of July!

The Cubs offense was absent but pitchers picked up the slack in a 1-0 win.
Hey, did I miss anything in the comments while I was out yesterday? I’ll forever be amused with the negativity around a team that has a fair chance at winning 100 games and a very good chance at winning 95 games. I talk about this one from time to time. I know some of you, and certainly out in the land of social media, need to ride all of the ups and downs as part of their fan...

The Cubs get great pitching and just enough offense and complete a series sweep.
The Cubs offense nearly disappeared Thursday evening at Wrigley Field against the Guardians. They had just three hits, all singles. That plus three walks was the extent of the offense, and in the first nine innings just two Cubs got past first base. Eleven Cubs struck out.
But the Cubs also got some excellent pitching, holding Cleveland to seven hits, also all singles. And...

An incredible milestone.
This week we got to see a truly massive milestone, as Clayton Kershaw became the 20th pitcher to reach 3,000 career strikeouts. This milestone seemed like it might not be possible for Kershaw, who has been injured on and off for the past several seasons. But Kershaw persevered, the Dodgers remained loyal—a rarity among franchises—and Kershaw was able to climb that career mountain.
On Wednesday, Kershaw faced off against the...
