"Brewers Edge Out Cubs in Close 6-5 Victory"

The Chicago Cubs lost a close game to the Milwaukee Brewers with a final score of 6-5. Despite thrilling home runs from Cody Bellinger and Yan Gomes, the Cubs couldn't secure the win. Victor Caratini's home run against his former team added to the sting of the loss. The Cubs had other opportunities but couldn't capitalize on them. Marcus Stroman had a decent outing, but one bad inning cost the team. Overall, it was a disappointing loss for the Cubs.

"Pirates Select Bido, Cubs' Happ Leaves Game Early in 11-3 Loss"

Ian Happ left the game after scoring a run due to his calf grabbing on him and feeling a little tight. The Cubs manager said they will see how he's feeling tomorrow, but until Happ is back on the field, there's no reason to take much at face value. Yan Gomes came through with a two-run single to pad the Cubs' lead, and Christopher Morel took over for Happ in left field.

Yan Gomes' Return Proves Crucial for Cubs' Success.

Yan Gomes has been the best offensive player for the Chicago Cubs this season, hitting a career-best .324/.347/.592/151 wRC+. He has the best hard hit rate of his career and is striking out just 12.0% of the time, a career-best by a mile. While his underlying metrics suggest he's getting a bit lucky, Gomes has been hitting the ball better than ever. Additionally, his work with the pitching staff is most sustainable and valuable.

Cubs Dominate Cardinals with 10-4 Victory.

Led by home runs from Patrick Wisdom and Yan Gomes, the Cubs scored 10 runs and crushed the Cardinals 10-4. Every Cubs batter had at least one hit, and every Cub scored at least once. Justin Steele allowed four runs over six innings, snapping his streak of consecutive starts with no more than two earned runs at 14. The Cubs gained a game in the N.L. Central standings and are just as capable of winning the division as any of the other Central ballclubs.

"Jarren Duran's Grand Slam Lifts Red Sox Over Orioles in 8-6 Victory"

Jarren Duran led the Red Sox to an 8-6 victory over the Orioles with a 3-4, 2B, HR, 3 R, 4 RBI performance. His batted ball data looks much improved from previous seasons, but his strikeout rate is still high and his BABIP is unsustainable. Other notable performances include Danny Jansen's 2 HR game, Yan Gomes' hot start, Ozzie Albies' 2 HR game, Jarred Kelenic's continued breakout, and Corbin Carroll's impressive stat line.

Gomes' Four-Hit Performance Leads Nationals to Victory Against Padres

Yan Gomes led the Chicago Cubs to a 6-0 victory over the San Diego Padres with four hits, including a two-run homer off Blake Snell and an RBI single in the eighth inning. Gomes has been instrumental in guiding the Cubs' pitching staff to their fifth shutout win of the year, having started four of those games. The catcher's offensive output has been impressive, batting .441/.457/.794 over his last eight games. However, Gomes prioritizes leading the pitching staff and building rapport with the arms, considering his offensive contributions as a bonus.

Nico Hoerner shines as Cubs' leadoff hitter and top second baseman.

The Cubs split a four-game series against the Dodgers, with Nico Hoerner hitting .367/.406/.489/147 wRC+ on the young season. Hayden Wesneski is struggling with his command, and is looking to change his pre-game preparation to improve his performance. The Cubs are 10-1 when Yan Gomes starts at catcher, and just 2-7 when Tucker Barnhart does. The Pirates have extended manager Derek Shelton's contract. Bryce Harper might come back from Tommy John surgery faster than any other position player has.
