Summary
Alex Bregman delivered a clutch two-run homer in the seventh inning to break a 3-3 tie and lead the Cubs to a 5-3 victory over the Reds, marking his first big hit since feeling his swing was clicking again. The win was sealed by a stellar bullpen performance, with Trent Thornton earning his third save of the year and manager Craig Counsell praising his poise under pressure. Earlier, Seiya Suzuki, Carson Kelly, and Ian Happ sparked the offense, setting the stage for Bregman’s game-winning blast. Thornton, embracing his new closer role, emphasized team wins over individual stats. With the first half winding down, the Cubs are focused on finishing strong before the unpredictable second half begins.
