The Chicago Cubs are on an absolute tear right now, and nobody seems to be able to slow them down. Down four to nothing against the Dodgers on Friday night, this battered, injury-riddled roster dug in and rattled off six unanswered runs to win six to four — that's ten straight victories and counting, and the baseball world is taking serious notice.
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Phillies are trending in the exact opposite direction. Atlanta's Michael Harris the Second came off the bench Friday and delivered a pinch-hit double that plated two crucial runs, handing the Phillies a five to three loss that deepens one of the worst slumps in recent franchise history. A fifth straight postseason run is looking shakier by the day.
And shifting to the links, Nelly Korda is putting on a clinic at the Chevron Championship. She sits at fourteen under par through two rounds, an absolutely commanding six-shot cushion over Patty Tavatanakit in second. Korda is hunting her second major title, and right now there is no one on the planet playing better golf than her.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
