The Cincinnati Reds defeated the Chicago Cubs 5-4, with Elly De La Cruz playing a pivotal role in the victory. De La Cruz made a crucial throw at 93.3 MPH to cut down the game-tying run at the plate in the 9th inning, securing the win for the Reds and saving Reds ML (+115) bettors. Santiago Espinal also contributed with a pinch-hit home run. The Cubs have struggled recently, winning only 2 of their last 10 games. A terrible send left Nick Madrigal out to dry, leading to his out at home.

Give these Cubs a chance to beat themselves, and they won't let you down. That was an absolutely terrible send of Madrigal. Cubs on the bases today were … yikes.
