Kyle Tucker broke out of a month-long power drought with two home runs and five RBIs, and Reese McGuire added a grand slam and five more runs driven in, as the Chicago Cubs overwhelmed the Los Angeles Angels 12–1 in Anaheim on Saturday night. The Cubs collected 14 hits, reached double digits in runs for the 18th time this season and stretched their surge to seven wins in nine games. Rookie right-hander Cade Horton limited the Angels to three hits over six shutout innings to move to 8-4. In Miami, Bo Bichette went 4-for-6 and delivered the decisive single in the 12th inning, scoring automatic runner George Springer to lift the Toronto Blue Jays past the Marlins 7-6. Springer homered earlier—his 22nd of the year—and José Berríos struck out eight across 6⅓ innings before the clubs traded late leads three times. The victory preserved Toronto’s five-game margin atop the American League East. Elsewhere, rookie Colson Montgomery crushed his first career grand slam as the Chicago White Sox beat the Minnesota Twins 7-3, snapping a three-game skid.
