Cubs Complete 8-Run Comeback Win Over Reds

The Chicago Cubs completed an impressive comeback against the Cincinnati Reds, rallying from an 8-3 deficit to win 11-8 in the final game of their series. Key to the Cubs' comeback was Reese McGuire, who hit two home runs in his first game after being called up to replace the injured Miguel Amaya, and Seiya Suzuki, who also contributed a decisive three-run homer and moved into the National League RBI lead. Despite a strong start from Cincinnati, including multiple RBI hits from Austin Hays and Jose Trevino, the Cubs scored eight unanswered runs, with significant contributions from Pete Crow-Armstrong and Nico Hoerner. The Cubs' bullpen, particularly Drew Pomeranz and Daniel Palencia, held the Reds scoreless in the late innings to secure the win. The previous day, the Cubs had fallen short in their comeback bid, losing 6-4 to the Reds, partly due to a difficult outing from starter Colin Rea and injuries including Amaya's oblique strain. Overall, the series showcased the Cubs' resilience and highlighted emerging players like McGuire and Crow-Armstrong as important offensive contributors.
