ATTACKING LIKE A STORM – ROYALS JUST SILENTLY WATCH THE BALL FLY BY
It all started with a bang from Dansby Swanson, who brought two runs in a game that brought the entire stadium to its feet. Then, the pillars like Ian Happ, Seiya Suzuki and Christopher Morel continued to destroy relentlessly, putting the Cubs ahead with chillingly accurate hits.
Facing the Cubs today, the Royals were like tied hands – not a single shake, not a glimmer of hope.
PITCHING AS SOLID AS CONCRETE: ROYALS HAVE NO RUN
But the story doesn’t stop at the offense. On the mound, the Cubs sent out Justin Steele, a pitcher who seemed to read the minds of every Royals batter. He finished with seven innings without a run, only allowing a few singles and freezing out any counterattacks from the visitors.
Steele – no show, no ostentation – just ruthless.
PERFECT DEFENSE – Wrigley SHAKES
Don’t forget the Cubs’ defense also contributed to one of the most perfect games of the season. A diving catch from Nico Hoerner, a picture-perfect double play from Swanson – and the Royals were out of options. Each defensive play had fans clapping until their palms were red.
CUBS FANS GO MAD – ROYALS LEAVE THE TERRITORY SILENTLY
As the scoreboard read 6-0, chants of “Let’s go Cubs!” echoed through the neighborhoods around Wrigley. This was no ordinary win – this was a statement. That the Cubs aren’t just fighting for the playoffs, they’re fighting for something bigger.
And the Royals? This shock will be with them for days to come.
THE MESSAGE FROM WRIGLEY FIELD IS CLEAR: WE’RE BACK
“This is the Cubs we believe in,” said one longtime fan as he left the field. “Not the timid team of years past. This is the Cubs of the warrior spirit.”
