Summary
The Cubs crushed the Rockies 8-6 in a fireworks-filled showdown, fueled by a seven-run second inning and home runs from Dansby Swanson and Pete Crow-Armstrong. Swanson’s blast capped a wild inning sparked by Matt Shaw’s two-run triple and Carson Kelly’s RBI double, while Crow-Armstrong added his 15th homer. Despite rookie Sterlin Thompson launching his first two MLB homers and contributions from Hunter Goodman and Kyle Karros, Colorado couldn’t overcome the early deficit. Javier Assad earned the win with five strong innings, and Jacob Webb closed it out for his second save. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
