Tony Crumpton - Senior Editor - Friday, July 28 2023

The summer of Mike Tauchman continues.

Cubs outfielder Mike Tauchman robbed the Cardinals of a would-be walk-off homer in the ninth inning as the Cubs won 4-3 on Friday night.

"HE CAUGHT IT," Boog Scambi announced. "WHAT A GRAB. HOLY COW. HE SAVED THE GAME. MIKE TAUCHMAN WITH A GAME-SAVING GRAB OVER THE WALL. AND THE CUBS WIN."

The Cubs are now above .500 for the first time since May 6th, with their seventh win in a row. The Cubs are just 4.5 games back of the division lead and 3.5 back of a Wild Card spot.
