Swanson’s HRs Turn Cubs’ Tide

Dansby Swanson exploded on the scene for the Cubs, crushing a tie-breaking three-run homer and then a jaw-dropping grand slam in a 10-3 rout of the Mets — turning a three-run deficit into a demolition job. Batting ninth, Swanson’s two blasts — a 400-foot bomb in the 6th and a bases-clearing slam in the 8th — capped a scorching start to the series with 3 homers and 11 RBIs. The Mets, reeling from a four-game skid and now 11 games under .500, were missing stars like Juan Soto and outscored badly. Cubs starter Javier Assad held steady for 5 innings, while Mets’ Nolan McLean struggled, allowing 6 runs and striking out 9. And amid the baseball chaos? Dozens of Norwegian soccer fans roared on, primed for the World Cup — adding to the electric, international vibe of the game. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
