The Cubs dominated the Houston Astros tonight, securing a 7-2 victory with stellar pitching from Jordan Wicks and two home runs by Mike Tauchman. Yency Almonte even clinched a four-out save. Unfortunately, Cody Bellinger sustained rib injuries from colliding with the ivy during the game. It appears the issue lies with the bricks behind the ivy. The Cubs haven’t confirmed any fractures, but Bellinger’s status for upcoming games remains uncertain pending further evaluation.
