ALL HAIL KING TUCK

[PeanutPunch33]

NICE

[chibears55]

Tucker Baby, new game

Skubal is human

[chibears55]

Zuki just missed it, damn

[DYMNO]

Tucker is such a complete, professional hitter. Pay that man his money. 

[UMFan83]

Now that is the first XBH Skubal has allowed by a lefty this year

[muntjack]

Really wish Carson Kelly would get moved back down in the lineup.  This should be PCA.

[UMFan83]

Seiya’s fly out had a .710 xBA and would be a HR in 16 parks (but not Wrigley) 

[PeanutPunch33]

If Brown can get through one more half inning, that's a hell of a start 

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Need a shutdown inning by Brown here.

[DYMNO]

 Brown hit 99 tonight?!

[muntjack]

Since April 20, Carson Kelly has an 85 wRC+.   He shouldn't hit cleanup for the best offense in baseball.

At or under .200 in that time.

They should have put Swanson there vs lefty.  But what do I know. 

Regression is here for Kelly 

 

[muntjack]

Well, horsefeathers.

Skubal not withstanding, I think people are forgetting the Cubs have the best hitter on the field tonight and in the series - Kyle Tucker.

[UMFan83]

1 time too many through the heart of the order 

[DYMNO]

As soon as he laid off those knuckle curves, I KNEW he was sitting dead red on the fastball. Kid has been good tonight, but having just two pitches will only play for so long. 

[gflore34]

Just keep the Cubs in the game Ben, they'll get to Tigers bullpen.

[KCCub]

Kind of felt that one coming with the 3 uncompetitive breaking balls in a row. Great outing from Ben overall though 

[chibears55]

Cubs gonna need one of those 4 run innings tonight.

No, if that pitch is a just a little lower that's an out.  I'm certain Brown missed his spot.

[chibears55]

Great outing by Ben hanging with the AL leader, now the bats need to get something done

[PeanutPunch33]

I didn't expect the Cubs to win this game but seeing how it's played out, it would be disappointing not to win.  Skubal has looked very hittable the last 3 innings
