Nine homers at Wrigley!

This is The Sports Reset for Tuesday September 1st

In MLB, the Chicago Cubs beat the Milwaukee Brewers 17 to 3 in a historic power show. Alex Bregman hit three of Chicago’s nine home runs, including the record-tying ninth in the eighth inning. The Cubs became the fifth MLB team with nine in one game, matched the National League record and finished August with an NL-record 62 home runs, trimming Milwaukee’s division lead to seven games. The Boston Red Sox edged the Seattle Mariners 9 to 8 in 10 innings after Trevor Story delivered a bases-loaded walk-off single following two intentional walks. Boston had tied it in the ninth when Roman Anthony tripled and scored on Ceddanne Rafaela’s sacrifice fly. The Baltimore Orioles also beat the Colorado Rockies 2 to 1, with Colton Cowser robbing Jake McCarthy of a potential winning home run at the center-field wall. Baltimore reached 69 and 69, half a game behind the final American League wild-card position.

Looking ahead, the Brewers and Cubs meet again tonight at Wrigley Field, with Chicago sending Matthew Boyd and his 8 and 3 record against Robert Gasser. The Mariners and Red Sox also resume their series after Boston handed Seattle its fifth consecutive loss. Elsewhere in MLB, the San Francisco Giants visit the Pittsburgh Pirates for a strong pitching matchup between Logan Webb, carrying a 3.72 ERA, and Paul Skenes at 3.79. The New York Yankees try to respond against the Los Angeles Angels behind Gerrit Cole, who enters 7 and 7 with a 3.19 ERA, while the Philadelphia Phillies face the Arizona Diamondbacks in another notable mound pairing between Jesús Luzardo and Eduardo Rodríguez. Beyond the scoreboard, the UCLA Bruins fired athletic director Martin Jarmond amid a significant financial deficit and appointed former Los Angeles Lakers executive Tim Harris as CEO and athletic director.
