Javier Assad boy's been good here at home as a 230 a over 12 home starts and since the all star break at 3.10 a and you can't talk about Assad without talking risky business runners in scoring position against him just a 133 batting average. Labour torres is ready. Javier Assad is ready and let's do it here. Wrigley first pitch swan on ground in the hole back handed by SWAT the throw to first not in time. You do not feel good sign for Assad getting a ground ball first. Swanson comes up with the throw but Labor torres able to beat it out an infield hit to get things started this afternoon for the Yankees. Torres not moving the pitch taken inside for ball four and the cops thought that was strike three but SOTO gets ball four. So 1st and 2nd to the Yankees, nobody out here's Asad next pitch and it skips Lowe gets away from Beth and Kirk goes to the backstop. Torres goes to third soto to second and two in scoring position here in the top of the first for the Yankees. So judge back in away to get you two. Here comes swing and a miss he struck him out sweeper down and away. Judge a couple of guys in scoring position gets a little greedy and now it's austin Wells pitch chopped on the ground to second base. Could get a run in. Horner. Feels he throws to first. It's in time. Torres scores from third and it's an RB I ground out for austin Wells. Yankees are ahead in the first one. John Carlo went zero for three yesterday. Smacked on the ground to second fielded by Horner. He'll throw him out to end the inning of a half inning. The Yankees won the Cubs there. He is Clark Schmidt out on the mound going through his warmup tosses the Yankees happy to have him back. Last time we saw him on a big league mound was May 26th. He had a right lap stream and a 3 to 2 to off the outside edge. And there you go. It's that ability really knows the strike zone and he can do damage from the leadoff spot too. So he immediately puts the pitcher in a little bit of a defensive posture. A 31 swing and a row at a second base. Torres has it goes to second for one. Volpe won't make the throw to first. The throw to second was low by Torres. So they get the force out swing and a miss there's a strike out. We talked about two way first strikeout of the afternoon. Wells wants the pitch off the plate but eclips the outside corner with a cutter swing and a miss pitch chopped on the ground to second base. Torres is right there, throws to first and it's in time Bellinger retired and the inning is over. Fad has been very consistent for Chicago's rotation and that one to the outside corner, he paints the edge. It's a strikeout his third one away and second one looking he got Volpe with a cutter that was out of the zone. Here's the two seamer that works its way back to the outside corner real good movement there. Fly ball off the bat of SOTO into right center playable for Armstrong right alongside Bellinger Pete makes the catch and that's out. Number two. Hit the air out towards left field charging in makes the catch and a seven pitch inning for javier as the Yankees go 1 to 2 to 3. Schmidt ready to go again. The 1 to 2 swinging a little tapper right in front of the mound. Schmidt picks it up, tosses to Rizzo at first one away one nothing Yankees bottom of the third. The pitch swinging a slow roller shortstop Volpe has it long throw to first. It's in time that ball was rolled toward the hole at short. So he was going to have to make a despite the lack of speed by Bethancourt two away, two up two down. Here's Ian a walk. His first time. There's a base hit to right center by Ian Cubs, get their first hit of the day. So I delivers the Cubs first knock of the day. He's been on base twice, hits sharply. Volpe down to his knees gets up and fires to rizzo A L rookies this season wins above replacement austin Wells with 3.4 right behind the Orioles Colton Cowser lined into right field. It is a basic for Wells, austin Wells runs well for a catcher, but he had one of the catcher biggest fear right there. A line drive to right field and thinking maybe Bellinger is going to come up and throw to first base. Becot got a late start wisdom over there and be Christian to make the catch retired in the air. Left field. Is there quickly fires it back in ground ball to second fielded by Horner. Lab tossed to first in time retires rizzo. The Yankees don't score leave one middle of the fourth inning. Next pitch is in their four strike to the lefty Bellinger line drive by Bellinger and center field of base hit. It's a one out single for Cody Cubs trail by a run in the fourth and the batter Niko Horner chop to Chisholm one not in time on the return. So Horner reaches on the fielder's choice and that'll bring up Swanson. Horner goes pitches high go to second, got on the tag by Torres good throw by Wells, strong throw by Austin Wells. And the inning comes to a close Verdugo his last 12 games, 15 for 45 and he takes four straight out of the zone to work a walk as the dangerous part of this Yankee lineup comes to hit fly ball center field. Carl Armstrong puts it away throw to first they got. But how does Alex Verdugo get doubled off here, this is a routine fly ball to center. You're not going anywhere. You see he's almost at second base and no reason to be there. It's a routine play. They're going to challenge it. You're taught to go halfway on a routine fly ball. He was more like three quarters of the way to second. He might get bailed out by the replay. The in the overturned, the runner is safe. New York. That's a huge sigh of relief for Verdugo. And now it's Pete Crow Armstrong with one out and the bases empty and a line drive and a base hit into right field in no time as PC A jumps on that first pitch and this is what the Cubs needed. Pete Armstrong on base to get a little something going here in the running game. There he goes pitches high, go to second, got him only the second time he has been thrown out trying to steal a back Armstrong. A perfect pitch to throw on Wells gets rid of it as quick as you can and the throw is right on the money. Wisdom waits. Here comes the payoff pitch and a pop fly hit to right, angling toward the line soto near the wall and he dropped it a fair play wisdom on his way to third base and he slides in safely. That's the ball going down the right field line. And SOTO is saying the ball was interfered with and I don't think anybody interfered with this ball. I just think SOTO lost track of it in the shadow going next to the wall and, and it's going to be a triple for Patrick Wisdom. So Cortez against Bethencourt. Hi, Papa Chisholm in foul territory. Volpe Volpe makes the play in foul ground and there is the third out here in the fifth inning. So three and one on judge 76 pitches for Assad and there's ball four. So aaron wants a walk to start off the sixth in 12 is strike three on the inside corner. Wells caught looking one away one to nothing. New York. Sixth inning in the batter. Now john carlos Stanton. So a 22 in the air well struck after draft makes the catch good read jump and catch by cody Bellinger. Just not an easy play. Here's Jazz Chisholm Jr grounded up the middle and diving stop by Horner. He'll have no play. So Judge goes to second infield hit for Chisholm Drew Smiley veteran left hander 43rd game. He will face Anthony rizzo. 35 years old runners go, go to third. It gets past wisdom and goes into left field. Judge will score moving to third is Chisholm. It's a double steal and an E two and a two nothing lead. Well, aaron Judge and Chisholm did not waste any time. First pitch from Drew Smiley, they were on the move. Bethancourt has a cannon behind the plate but that throw is a little bit wide. Wisdom can't knock it down and the Yankees steal a run run in the first run on the six. It held up so far, we go to the bottom of the ninth. Nestor's still out there. 20 game really need to challenge the strike zone here ahead in the count 1 to 2 off the bat side of Nestor picks the ball up and tosses the first one away. A fortuitous strike up the middle backhanded by Glaber tosses to first and the Cubs are down to their final out. Nice play by torres and the Cubs down to their final strike grounded to Torres and he gets the win and the Yankees get the win and the Yankees win a series and they have shut out the Cubs in two straight games.
