Cubs’ Dominant Victory Solidifies Their Playoff Position
In a season where the competition at the top of the standings is fierce, each day can be crucial. The Chicago Cubs experienced a key day on Wednesday, which gave them greater clarity about their immediate future. The Cubs’ victory over the Mets, with a score of 10-3, not only consolidated their position in the National League, but also demonstrated the way the team is preparing for the postseason. This triumph also ended a losing streak that worried the fans. The Cubs’ offense shone on all fronts, outperforming a Mets team struggling to secure a playoff spot. Rookie Matt Shaw stood out, with a home run and three hits in total, Michael Busch, with his 31st home run of the season, and Pete Crow-Armstrong, who scored from second base thanks to a wild pitch from the opposing pitcher.The Cubs’ attack, although with ups and downs in the second half of the season, demonstrated their ability to win with both power and speed. Pitcher Matthew Boyd, benefiting from the offense, highlighted the team’s versatility.Wrigley has electricity now, everyone coming is ready for the party. We know we’re getting close to October baseball, and being able to embrace that is the most fun.

Boyd had a solid performance of 5.1 innings, allowing only two runs and earning his 14th win of the season. For Boyd, who was signed as a free agent, this was a fitting end to a regular season in which he made 31 starts, his most since 2019.We hit hard, we score runs, we manufacture runs, we did a bit of everything. That’s where the danger lies, the power of this lineup, that we can beat you in multiple ways.

The return of Daniel Palencia, who worked in middle relief, was crucial. Palencia, with 22 saves, struck out a batter and reached 100 mph with his fastball. Manager Craig Counsell expressed his satisfaction with Palencia’s return. Wednesday’s victory, added to San Diego’s defeat, strengthened the Cubs’ position. For now, the team is focusing on its own performance.I can play in front of these fanatics. They give me a lot of energy. It feels like a playoff atmosphere, but they’ve been doing it since April. I am very grateful for everything.

It’s a slippery slope if you look at other teams, wishing for certain situations and so on. We take care of our own business, things will turn out well. All the concentration, all the energy, should be focused on what we do, right?
