Summary
The Cubs are riding a wave of elite defense to victory, snagging a dramatic extra-innings win over the Pirates—thanks largely to standout plays from Nico Hoerner and a solid outing from Matthew Boyd, who praised the team’s defensive prowess as one of the best he’s ever seen. Hoerner’s lightning-fast, smart, and clutch infield stops are turning potential hits into outs, and his consistency this season suggests he might be the heart of a defense that’s propelling the Cubs toward the NL Central lead.
