The Opener: Cubs, Reynolds,
Briefly

The Opener: Cubs, Reynolds,
"The big righty was perfect through 4 2/3 innings against the Diamondbacks, until he couldn't make the play on a Lourdes Gurriel Jr. roller up the third base line. Nolan Arenado followed with a clean single, then Skenes retired the next 10 hitters."
"A Michael Busch bases-loaded walk pushed across the winning run for the Cubs in the 10th inning last night. It was their third straight walk-off victory in an important NL Central battle against the Reds. Chicago has won seven in a row. Cincinnati is now last in the division after dropping the first three games of the series."
"Tampa Bay shut out the Blue Jays on Wednesday behind a strong outing from Shane McClanahan. Ian Seymour slammed the door for his first career save. The Rays have now held opponents to three runs or less in 13 consecutive games, a new franchise record (per MLB). The streak will be on the line against the Red Sox on Thursday evening, with the nation watching."
"Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds singled in the third inning of Wednesday's matchup against Arizona, giving him 1,000 hits in his career. The 31-year-old is now the fifth Pittsburgh player to record 1,000 hits, 200 doubles, and 140 home runs (h/t Jason Mackey of MLB.com)."
Paul Skenes stayed perfect through 4 2/3 innings against the Diamondbacks before a fielding miscue on a Lourdes Gurriel Jr. roller up the third-base line ended the bid. Nolan Arenado followed with a single, but Skenes then retired the next 10 hitters. The Cubs won again on a bases-loaded walk in the 10th inning, marking a third straight walk-off victory and extending their winning streak to seven in an NL Central matchup with the Reds. Tampa Bay shut out the Blue Jays behind Shane McClanahan, with Ian Seymour earning his first career save, and the Rays held opponents to three runs or fewer for 13 straight games. Bryan Reynolds reached 1,000 career hits for the Pirates.
