This rookie was DEALING! Cade Horton hit a new career high 8Ks and kept the Jays hitless through 5.1! Unfortunately his scoreless streak ends. Kittredge came on in relief and gave up a 2B to Vladdy Guerrero Jr. that brings in a run. 2-1 Cubs still up.

Oh no Miguel Amaya…….. First day back beats out a ground ball but takes a REALLY awkward step at 1st…. Cart coming out for him.

GET WELL AMAYA!

WIN THIS ONE FOR MIGGY!

Praying it’s nothing too serious for Miggy Amaya…Guy worked his TAIL off to get back as soon as possible. Going through rehab for injuries is taxing both physically and mentally. Thoughts and prayers. 🙏🏻

A Busch Sac Fly, and this Seiya single make it 4-1 Cubs!

Sometimes it takes a catch like this to get you out of a funk. Nice grab KING TUCK!

Cubs win! Cade Horton. Matt Shaw. Prayers up for Miggy. Let’s win a series tomorrow! -C. Horton: 5.1IP, 1ER, 1H, 8Ks, 2BBs -M. Busch: 1-3, HR(23), 2RBI, R -M. Shaw: 1-3, HR(10), RBI, 2R, BB, SB -N. Hoerner: 2-4, 2SB -M. Amaya: 1-3 -S. Suzuki: 1-3, RBI, BB

UPDATE: Per Maddie Lee, Miguel Amaya will be going on the IL with a left ankle sprain. Happy to hear it wasn’t anything more serious. GET WELL SOON MIGGY!

DEVELOPING: Per Marquee Sports Network, Cubs top prospect, Owen Caissie, is getting the call up. With Miguel Amaya hitting the IL, the Cubs have a spot to fill. 93 games at AAA Iowa 2025: .289/.389/.556 22 HRs 52 RBI .955 OPS

Like this if you’re thankful for Cade Horton and his 0.32 ERA since the All-Star break 🔥

UPDATE: Per the Chicago Cubs, Owen Caissie has been recalled as Miguel Amaya head back to the IL ( 10-day get well soon!). Canadian born, Caissie, will make his big league debut in Toronto, batting 5th as the DH in today’s lineup. Seiya Suzuki will get the day off.

Big time Rubber Match Matinee! The Cubs and Jays wrap their series up today after yesterday’s 4-1 victory north of the border. Boyd will take to the bump, while PCA and Suzuki get a rest day. Replacing them, will be top prospect, Owen Caissie, and Willi Castro. GCG!

ROBBERY! Owen Caissie gets robbed in the gap in his first big league plate appearance!

Busch’s 24th and 2nd of the series gives the Cubs the lead!

You rob our guy, Boyd’s gonna get you back!

Didn’t love the sequence here from Boyd. Had him down 0-2 and this slider caught all of the plate… 2-1 Jays lead late.

Don’t deserve to win after 2nd and 3rd no out 2, 3, 4 batters coming up produces no runs. All 3 struck out. Gutless…

Pitiful

As frustrating as a loss gets… The BABIP Gods are laughing at us but down 1, 2 in scoring position, no outs, 2-4 hitters coming up HAS to produce runs. -M. Boyd: 7.0IP, 2ER, 2Hs, 5Ks, 1BB -M. Busch: 1-3, HR(24), RBI, R -M. Shaw: 1-3, 2B -D. Swanson: 1-4, 2B
