Cubs Snap Skid with Blowout Win

0:00On April 29, the Chicago Cubs snapped their three-game losing streak with an 8-3 beat down over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night. Their offense exploded in the late innings, turning a tied game into a blowout thanks to clutch hits from Nico Harner, Alex Breggman, and Pete. Crow Armstrong. It started in the sixth with the score locked at two apiece and two runners on. Harner ripped a two-run double into right center, hustling to second after a bobble by the Padres center-fielder. That hit put him in rare company, joining just a few Cubs legends with 25 RBI's and 35 hits in the first 30 games of the season. Breggman, sideline for a minor foot tweak from a hit by pitch over the weekend, came off the bench in the seventh. With runners on the corners and two outs, he punched a single to right, pushing across two runs for a 5-3 lead that flipped the momentum. Hard. Then Crow Armstrong crushed it, ending a homer drought of 77 played appearances with a three-run blast to center on a 1-1 change-up.

1:02That padded the lead and sealed the deal, marking just his second long ball this year. Cubs starter Edward Cabrera held it down for five and two-thirds innings, allowing three runs before the bullpen locked the door. This win recognized that fire after their 10-game heater, keeping Chicago rolling strong. That's your update from MLB News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
