The Chicago Cubs defeated the Detroit Tigers 10-2, highlighted by Miguel Amaya's first career grand slam, which contributed to a personal-best five RBIs. Amaya's grand slam came in the second inning and helped the Cubs secure the series victory. Pitcher Justin Steele delivered an impressive performance, striking out ten batters and allowing only two runs over seven innings. This victory marks the Cubs' highest score at Wrigley Field since July 4 and keeps them in contention for the National League's wild-card spot. The Cubs, now 11-7 in August, aim to build on this momentum as they prepare for a nine-game road trip starting against the Marlins. The Tigers struggled against the Cubs' offense, with Kenta Maeda giving up six runs in five innings.
