University Of Cincinnati Baseball 2024-07-03 University Of Cincinnati Baseball - Last update images today University Of Cincinnati Baseball NBA Free Agency 2024: Latest Signings, News, Buzz And Reports CHICAGO -- — Ian Happ hit three-run homers from both sides of the plate for a career-high six RBI, and the struggling Chicago Cubs pounded the major league-leading Philadelphia Phillies 10-2 to avoid a three-game sweep on Thursday. The Cubs came into the season expecting to contend for the NL Central championship. Instead, they're last in the division. But they gave the Wrigley Field crowd of 40,143 plenty to cheer on July Fourth. “We know how much this fan base expects and how much they deserve,” Happ said. “They come out every single day no matter what. They deserve a really good baseball team, and I think we all in this clubhouse believe that we have that in the tank. It’s been a tough stretch. But you have a game like today where you put up 10 and feel really good about it, let’s see if we can keep that rolling.” Chicago trailed 2-0 when Happ connected from the right side against starter Cristopher Sánchez during a five-run fourth inning. Happ struck again batting left-handed in the fifth against Seranthony Domínguez, making it 8-2 and giving him 14 career multi-homer games. It was the second time Happ went deep from both sides of the plate. He also singled and doubled to finish 4 for 4. Happ got off to a slow start this season. But over 35 games since May 26, he is second in the majors with 36 RBI. “You're going to have times when things don't feel right," he said. “When the wind's blowing in, you're hitting things straight into the wind or you're striking out. Part of that is believing that you're going to hit one of those hot streaks and get back on track. For me personally, that was early in the year. The first six weeks were a struggle and really difficult and challenging, and believing that I was going to get to that place where I right the ship.” Jameson Taillon (5-4) pitched seven innings, allowing two runs and four hits. The right-hander struck out seven and walked none. Seiya Suzuki scored three times and the Cubs came away with an easy win after dropping eight of 10. They also stopped a seven-game losing streak against the Phillies dating to last season. Philadelphia’s Brandon Marsh singled home a run in the first. Nick Castellanos made it 2-0 in the fourth with a rocket to left-center for his 12th home run, but Sánchez (6-4) simply didn’t have it coming off a shutout against Miami last week and his first career complete game. The left-hander got tagged for seven runs and seven hits after going 3-0 with a 0.39 ERA in his previous three starts. He exited with none out in the fifth after Cody Bellinger and Suzuki singled. Happ broke open the game when he greeted Domínguez with a drive to right for his 13th homer. He became the first Cubs player to connect from both sides since Victor Caratini in a loss at Pittsburgh on July 3, 2019. “Ian had some huge swings,” manager Craig Counsell said. “We got men on base in front of him for those swings. Two three-run homers puts a smile on everybody's face, for sure.” TRAINER'S ROOM Cubs: RHP Mark Leiter Jr. (strained forearm) will likely face hitters within the next few days, assuming no setbacks following his bullpen session on Wednesday, pitching coach Tommy Hottovy said. Hottovy had not spoken to Leiter. ... Hottovy said RHP Yency Almonte (strained right shoulder) will probably decide “in the next day or so” between surgery or a strengthening program. Almonte has been out since May 7. UP NEXT Phillies: RHP Aaron Nola (9-4, 3.43 ERA) gets the ball Friday as the Phillies open a three-game series at Atlanta, while the Braves go with LHP Max Fried (7-3, 2.91). Nola is coming off a loss to Miami in which he gave up three runs in 6 2/3 innings. Fried has a 1.56 ERA in his past three starts. Cubs: Open a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels, with LHP Justin Steele (0-3, 3.20 ERA) starting for Chicago. Steele went six innings and allowed three runs in the Cubs' win at Milwaukee on Saturday. ------ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb University Of Cincinnati Baseball Aa1b7eb54836fae5308a3a49619ed80c Schott Cincinnati Ws9lwh4fvsqyvpbmf6le 5e48cc6d 19df 487c B472 0cd04ca2906f Gettyimages 1241808799 594x594 ?width=594&height=396&fit=crop&format=pjpg&auto=webp Reds 2024 Schedule V0 H0T T86eAMkA1M2YHgK8 Btt76E58RIK Y15 Zgb6QI ?auto=webp&s=75e15aa3516fada5d080b5b47bf3b30836f874a5 6359e1519ccef.image ?resize=1333%2C888 Maxresdefault Sddefault 98aa22106211137a90a98639e3a329c6 2023 Baseball Team CT 2024 Cincinnati Reds Printable Schedule PNG LUGAFDA6ZNHK5EMGFKBVKNPIYQ Cincinnati Baseball Cq5dam.web.1280.1280 Maxresdefault Maxresdefault University Of Cincinnati AATXAJzX38rndu8039ptv6WZLqlLI2YznLM8JrQr7w=s900 C K C0xffffffff No Rj Mo CincyBsballWP 5caf9a91e5c2f.image ?resize=1200%2C592 BASE23 Sidearm Season Tickets 1920x1080 B5b2a94b 2f1f 42bf 9993 Ec2b1ed599b8 1669740327 ?crop=1.00xw 0.846xh;0,0.0807xh&resize=900 * USATSI 20478587 Scaled ?quality=100 Cincinnati V Xavier CS1 0018.JPG Cincinnati Reds City Connect Barry Larkin Mens Replica Baseball Jersey X8Qt4Q Ef752b38 F8c7 43ca Aecc E6b4c7f39db8 06 21 21 Rain 002 ?crop=1184 Cq5dam.web.1280.1280 BASE23 Sidearm Student Tickets 1920x1080 C7dcfb31d34255520b1c54e3cfecce2e Maxresdefault Dc51866e2b11b9630afcbb3d3e0f6307
