Cubs Win on Defense and Boyd | Chicago Cubs News

The Cubs pulled off a heart-pounding 3-2 win over the Pirates in extra innings, thanks to jaw-dropping defensive plays from Ian Happ and Nico Hoerner that turned the tide. Happ robbed a run at the plate, Hoerner made a diving stop to end a key inning, and Boyd’s stellar seven-inning start set the stage for a comeback fueled by Pete Crow-Armstrong’s homer and a late two-run rally. Manager Counsell and pitcher Boyd praised the team’s elite baseball IQ and relentless effort, as Boyd continues his dominant stretch since returning from injury — now 6-0 with the Cubs in the final stretch.
