JT for the Cubs, Dean Kramer for the Os. This is a rematch of a game from last year at Wrigley Field which was won by the Orioles. Both pitchers come in with some pretty good moment. Dean Kramer, his 11th start of the year. The opponents batting average 197. That's the best so far for Dean Kremer's career. If it stays there, he'll have an out year and he's been good, missed six weeks with that tricep injury but came back and was outstanding against Seattle just five days ago. One offering coming to Horner and that is put in the air, left center field, not deep charging on his Mullins going out at short. It is Henderson. The catch is made by Mullins and there is out number one to begin the game. Now it will be Michael Bush that is hammered right field. That's on its way. You can't get it, Michael Bush a first pitch homer and just like that, the Cubs lead one to nothing, almost half his home runs have come on either the first or second pitch. Yeah, that's why we nicknamed him Ambush. But when you're playing a tough team in their park. You'll love to take that early lead. Kremer who went five scoreless against the Mariners on Wednesday gives up a run on the third pitch today. Well, the splitter is splitting early and a couple of good dancing ones there is Bellinger goes down, swing. That's when he gets it and starts it right in the heart of the plate and see that late vertical movement just straight down and Bellinger swings right over the top of it. And that was the pitch for Dean Kramer. That was so good in his last start against Seattle. Roll on the ground is shortstop fielded by Henderson throws on the first base and Suzuki is out ending the top half of the first starting pitcher for the Cubs jo 299, a through 14 starts. And so far he's done a really good job neutralizing left handed hitters and hitting just 232 against them, slugging 338. Here's the 32 drilled in the air. Deep. Center field back goes Bellinger at the fence, makes the catch reached up. I believe he took a home run away from Gunner. Henderson. It's out number one and in a little bit of a dry spell right now. Seven out of 47 1 49 over his last 13 though he does have 11 walks in that span. Richman right center field. There's a base hit on an 02 curveball at elevates one to the green grass and he's the Orioles first base runner to Tom, among those who swinging hot bats swing and a Miss Santander swings through that one and a big punch bouncer in the bush, he will step on the bag and that is going to be out. Number three, we have reached a very important moment early in this game, Tomas Nito, the number nine hitter coming up with the bases loaded and one down. and in this inning it was a line drive single by 8.5 and Then an infield single which was off check, swing by Morell Orioles thought they might have had a double play but the call at first overturned on review and Then Miles Mastrini just walks so they're loaded one out and here's need high fly ball right field. Santander there makes the catch tagging from third and coming in to score is Ian Neto does the job. It's two, 2, 46 3, 29 on base, just four homers in 82 games. Old jam shot here right field. So there takes it away. You just can't get anything in front of this guy these days. He takes away a hit and he also takes away a Cubs run announced for the first time since being named a Major league all star Jordan Westberry. Congratulations to him named to the team late this afternoon after Rafael Devers, it was announced would be sitting out the game due to some lingering shoulder soreness. He is an all star for the first time and it likely will not be the last time with a career trajectory he's on and Westbrook demolishes his ball left center field. Get this man to Texas already. He should have been an all star Sunday. He sure is one now. But I tell you one thing that was an all star swing is what that was one ball, two strike count. And we, he's done this all year folks. He is one of the best two strike hitters in the game of baseball. And he got a mistake by Jamison Ty on, hit it out into the Oriole bullpen his 15th long ball of the year and make it 50 RBIs now for we on the year hot steamy night, like tonight as a pitcher, you'd like to be efficient, try to get into that dugout as quickly as possible, but so many dangerous hitters in this lineup, you can't be super aggressive that's in there. Mullen's gone on strikes now, the 12 to swing and a miss breaking ball got him. Third strike out for Jamison. We move to inning number three, 234 up for the ground ball off Kramer's glove. It came to Henderson long throw is off line and into the camera. Well, so Bellinger gets a free base on an error. That's one of those you want to let it go through. Henderson's right there, but you just can't think fast enough to get out of the way. And Henderson does all he can do probably should have put that one in his back pocket. Instead he throws it over Mount Castle and here's Suzuki swing and a line drive and a base hit out of the center field. Bellinger on his way to the plate. Mullins. Here's his throw cut off, belly's in, say RB I single and it's three, one building a little picket fence here. One of the first one in the second. Now, one in the third, take advantage of the miscue by the three consecutive cubs have reached with one out, a one, two , a slow roller to third base has it and he drops the ball and everyone's safe. The second error of the inning for an Orioles infielder and they're loaded with just one out. Bad luck for Dean. This thing wide open grounded slowly toward third. That's going to be a fair ball and the throw to first is not in time. They get the force out of a run scores a fielder. He does get an RB I and the Cubs lead 4 to 1. The Orioles continue to hit in two strike counts all of a sudden here come the Orioles will bat. He can tie this thing up with one swing. Anthony ground ball left side diving stop by the third baseman master the second for one on the first two, a double play but a run scores and it's now a 4 to 2 game one of the best double plays you'll ever see Miles Mastro starts a 563 play and he continues to play great defense at third, Ryan O Herb will bat with two outs and the bases empty drive to left center on the run half diving catch by Ian and left center. Some fancy leather being flashed by the Cubs defense in this third inning, two outs. 2nd and 3rd Cubs up 4 to 2 in the fourth Cubs have scored in every inning tonight to fly ball right field. That one well struck. That's on its way. God out to Utah street. Ian half stays hot three run homer and it is seven two. The RB I barrage continues for Ian and the Cubs with a little breathing room now open up a 7 to 2 lead and now with seven runs to work with, I mean, Ty has really pitched well, that's the idea. You get a nice lead five run bulge right now, throw strike if they're going to come back, make them earn their comeback. See you later. Mount Castle gone Tong comes out and gets a 123 cubs lead 72, two men on a lot of traffic on the bases for the Cubs. It's great to see drive base hit into left field Nikko coming in to score. Bush will stop at third as the throw was bobbled and into second goes, Suzuki the Cubs continue to pound that baseball around the yard 11 hits. Now in the ball game for the Cubs. Cubs have men at 1st and 3rd with one away back to the top of the order for Nego Horner bounce towards third to second for one return to first out at first. Take another look at that one. Put the ear muff on the call in the field is overturned. The runner is safe. Chicago will retain their and the Cubs add on 92. Here's the 11 to Bush ripped on the ground. That's a base hit. He's got his fourth hit of the game. Excellent ball game for busy with four hits, as you said, and a big home run to start the ball game, Cody Bellinger, the batter he has thrown 22 pitches in this inning from the bell. He brings it and Bellinger hits a silo ball near second base. Gunner Henderson walks across the bag now in front of the bag makes the catch on the grass cut out ending the inning and there is the biggie family. Hunter. Biggie will make his major league debut. 12th round pick out of Harvard in 2019 and this year multiple levels. A 1, 32 a in 13 appearances, 22 strikeouts and 13 and two thirds. The bulk of those appearances at AAA Iowa. Let's get that first big league punch out right here in there. First major league strike out for Hunter Biggie. Congratulations. One 100 miles an hour and a big fist pump pitch on the ground into the glove of Swanson over the first ball game Cubs win, hunter Biggie his major league debut and he gets a 123, including his first big league strikeout. That was fun tonight.
