Cubs Defeat Diamondbacks 13-11 in Historic Eighth-Inning Comeback

The Chicago Cubs staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks 13-11 at Wrigley Field, in a game that saw an unprecedented 16 combined runs scored in the eighth inning alone. The Cubs held a 7-1 lead heading into the eighth, but the Diamondbacks surged ahead with a 10-run top half, highlighted by Eugenio Suarez's grand slam and Lourdes Gurriel Jr.'s three-run homer. Despite this, the Cubs responded with three home runs of their own in the bottom of the inning, including a three-run shot by Carson Kelly, a go-ahead two-run homer by Kyle Tucker, and a solo blast by Seiya Suzuki. This game marked the first time in over a century that an MLB team allowed 10 runs in a single inning after the third and still won, and it set a Wrigley Field record for most runs in a single inning. The Cubs' resilience was further underscored by closer Ryan Pressly securing the save, sealing a victory in what became a historic slugfest. The win improved the Cubs' record to 13-9 while the Diamondbacks fell to 12-8.
