A stellar diving grab by Dansby Swanson to save a run in the 8th as the Cubs cling to a 9-7 lead over the Orioles. Swanson came into tonight's game ranked 4th among MLB shortstops in Fielding Run Value:

Cubs out-homer the Orioles, 5-4, and hold on for a 9-7 win. Have won 18 of last 24 games. The book ⤵️

#FlyTheW! The Cubs beat the Orioles 9-7, despite the best efforts of their bullpen to screw it all up.

78: Hey hey! The #Cubs outslugged the O's 9-7 on Wednesday behind 2 HRs from PCA, a 3-run blast from Seiya, solo shots from Conforto & Kelly, and Webb's 4th save! #FlyTheW #GoCubsGo

Cubs 9 Orioles 7 A little shaky finish but held on

I'm pretty sure my second cousin and her husband were at the Cubs/Orioles game last night and are also at the game tonight. They're Orioles fans.

Watching the second game in the series between the Cubs and Orioles tonight and this is a MUCH more satisfying game than last night.

Cubs have hit 3 homers off Dean Kremer in the top of the 5th. On a four-seam, cutter and splitter. There's 1 out. #orioles down 4-3

Note the scoreboard on the rendering of the #Rays' proposed very-possibly-never-to-be-built new stadium. What the hell?! They must still be stinging from getting pantsed by the #Cubs in the Miles Mastrobuoni deal. www.mlb.com/news/rays-re...
