Game Highlights: Steele Deals, Happ Homers Twice in Cubs Win vs. Cardinals in London | 6/24/23
Mhm. Welcome to London in Stadium for tonight’s game featuring the Chicago Cubs and the ST Louis Cardinals. Please welcome to the field, the Chicago Cubs, the Cardinals great festivities as the ball players walkout with some of the kids here in London. The players feeling right now, Alex, I don’t know what they’re feeling. I’m jealous. I’m not playing because what an awesome event to come across the pond in London with two of our trophy franchise with partners in the Cubs. I’m jealous. You guys are here back in 2019. You haven’t been here those. So what do
you think about the surrounding so far? It’s a great postseason by, for , for the player’s here, gives them chance to watch. Adam Wainwright put together such a wonderful career in his 19th season, his second and Cardinals history and strikeouts 198. His last time out there’s a swing and a drive into left field and that ball is caught SARS Nootbaar making a tumbling catch two outs. The Cardinal fans shout nude for Nootbaar and left field. I expect this to be a bit of a raucous crowd here, Suzuki, find a record contract for Japanese position player
prior to last year. Groundball to the shortstop. The young has it. He throws it, he gets hit by a step. They played
Adam Wainwright travels overseas his fifth home run in his career against got a fastball out over the plate and didn’t miss it straightaway center and that ball just drifted more lateral movement than downward movement for runners at the corners with two down for Nik Madrigal. Let’s see if Madrigal can come up with a, every hitter loves to get a two out run scoring base hit. He can line drive base hit to center moral scores stops at second in the club’s lead two to nothing. He time the curveball very nicely for Nicky that that’s like his
pulled hit right field , right centre is should be like Kim just shooting layups to nothing game. Here is the guy that started the scoring and he in half in the air to right field on a curve home runs against Adam Wainwright it’s hard to explain these things happen, but some pitchers versus some hitters, everything well and right now he sees everything with two outs, three consecutive hits. The homer by happened now, singles by Swanson and Bellinger lead three nothing and Chris Moral with a chance to increase their lead. Morelle Bangs a base hit to
center and it’s four in Chicago run scoring single, Christopher Moral. His 30th runs batted in and the Cubs laid four to nothing. There is no activity yet in the Cardinals bullpen to center. He’s got his second hit of the day. Cut off timing play. Bellinger scored tagged out and the inning is over De Jong things up against steel. Cardinals having to battle back from the early hole and the pitch strike three third strikeout for just in steel and the pitch by Justin swing and a miss strike three, his fourth strikeout of the payoff playing some
kind of shallow, not respecting the power to right field. I mean, this is a shallow if you’re going to get the right field and he goes the other way , the ball just outside the reach. Mike Tauchman grounded out in the bottom of the order three in the Cubs lineup combined over six. It’s one in the air to left down the line slicing away from fair bouncing over the wall ground rule double that scored again. Tauchman gets the RB I double Cubs lead six to nothing, unable to get it out in the fourth inning runner
at second responsibility. Oliver Marmol going to make a change here. Now, the infield in the batter’s Suzuki Jordan Walker in this inning, the Cardinals trying to find some offence trying to find any offence against Justine Steal who has given up just to walk through four innings, groundball deep short left field base hit hitting streak of 14. Now for Jordan Walker, I think he broke another bat to, that’s how strong he is and he shattered his bat last time when he grounded out and I think he broke that one also did have good sound to it
at all. And so the Cardinals at their first runners in scoring position this afternoon, 2nd and 3rd to gone. Brendan Donovan gets a shot out of the nine spot line drive to left angling toward the line. He’s got it for out number 30, the Cardinals leave two on base and makes the turn and he’s at second one pitch into the sixth inning for two today to 26. It’s the MVP driving in Tommy Edmund and it’s 71 definitely flip the switch. Their, I was kind of like, like it’s time to put your chest out a little
bit and just try to get this ball by him, try and get some punchouts. And I was just kind of, you know , like I need to go chasing strikeouts, get out of this inning. Only one run its three to Carlson strikeout. Number eight are still who struck out three in a row in the ninth for Swanson and two walks today for Swanson the other way back on the opposite field home run and the Cardinals have to worry about the win and keeping this one to right center field. He gets a spinner the bat on
it. Great, right field strong, Anthony Kaye, the left hander will work the ninth inning and try to nail this thing down. Fly right side, should do it. Trey Mancini makes the grab and the Cubs beat the Cardinals 9 to 1 in game one of the London series comes out there hitting shoes on the right things pitched it extremely well and they singing comes goal in London.
