Michael Busch led off the ninth inning with a game-ending home run, Cody Bellinger went deep in his return from broken ribs and the Chicago Cubs beat the San Diego Padres 3-2 on Tuesday night. Shota Imanaga was in line to win his fifth straight start before the Padres broke through in the eighth.
On Sunday, the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers completed their three-game weekend series at Wrigley Field. Cubs infielder Michael Busch grabbed some headlines after he made a sparkling defensive play during the game. Early on in the game, with the game scoreless in the second inning, Brewers infielder Oliver Dunn laid down a bunt. Busch, playing first base, hustled up to the ball as it rolled up the field. While Cubs pitcher Javier Assad ran to the ball too, Busch scooped it up and decided to do it all himself. Busch retrieved the ball, lunged out, and tagged Dunn on the baseline before he made it to first! What an effort by Michael Busch! 👏 pic.twitter.com/vLBZLgohMc — Chicago Cubs (@Cubs)
