The Phillies missed an obvious chance against the Cubs.
My GOODNESS, Ian Happ. The power explosion this year is just so incredible. Today, while batting as a righty against one of the toughest left-handed pitchers in baseball (who also happens to be an extreme groundball pitcher, mind you), the Cubs left fielder absolutely obliterated a baseball onto Waveland. The shot: 110.7 MPH, 429 feet. WATCH OUT ON WAVELAND. pic.twitter.com/U7LgmucURV— Chicago Cubs (@Cubs) April 23, 2026 That was Happ's 7th... Please, oh PLEASE let Michael Busch be heating up for real. After launching his first homer of the season last night, Michael Busch came back with another today. And this one was against a lefty. Not just any lefty, mind you, but one of the very best left-handed starting pitchers in baseball, Cristopher Sanchez. That is a very, VERY good sign. Oh, and it was crushed: 106 MPH EV, 421... Although none of the three is exclusively to blame for the Cubs' slow start to the season, nor are any of the three exclusively to credit for the current eight-game winning streak, it's been impossible not to notice that each of Alex Bregman, Pete Crow-Armstrong, and Seiya Suzuki have had a fantastic stretch at the plate right along-side the Cubs' wins. After a slow (or injured) start to the year...

Plus, Owen Ayers picked up his first hit with the Knoxville Smokies. Let's recap the action.

CUBS LINEUP — The Cubs may be catching a lucky break this weekend against the Dodgers, but it's still the Dodgers in L.A. So, let's maybe win this game too and extend that winning streak to nine before heading to the West Coast, eh? Here's a look at the Cubs lineup against the Phillies best starter, Cristopher Sanchez. Chicago Cubs Lineup: Nico Hoerner, 2B Alex Bregman, 3B Ian Happ, LF... Alternate Title: The Best Dodgers Pitchers Are Scared to Face the Cubs Lineup. Last night on X, after the Cubs took down the Phillies for the third straight game, extending their winning streak to a league-best eight games, I posted my truth, ugly as it may be: "The smugness I feel when the Cubs are winning…. Man that’s the good stuff." I don't know what to tell ya, but boy... Earlier this week, we discussed a number of Chicago Cubs prospects, including a guy who has been getting outsized attention since Spring Training: switch-hitting infield prospect Pedro Ramirez. Some of the basis for the discussion of the just-turned-22, minor-league-gold-glove-winning Ramirez was a chart that Baseball America created and, honestly, I've been trying to make sense of it ever since: Now, when I say "make sense of," I don't mean understand.... I know enough by now not to take these long winning streaks for granted. When things are down, you wake up feeling like the Cubs just have no
