## Resource

July 5, 2026, delivered a wild baseball showdown packed with clutch hits, heroic pitching, and jaw-dropping defense. Alex Bregman delivered a key double, Javier Assad escaped a bases-loaded jam, and Jordan Walker blasted his 20th homer — a three-run shot that put him in elite Cardinals company. Nico Hoerner tied the game with a clutch single, while a defensive lapse let Michael Busch score. But the Cubs sealed it with Dansby Swanson’s spectacular catch — a play that stole the show and reminded everyone why defense wins championships.
