Boyd and Imanaga Power Cubs Pitching | Chicago Cubs News

Two unexpected lefties, Matthew Boyd and Shota Imanaga, are turning the Chicago Cubs’ pitching woes into a strength—both are elite, consistent, and crucial as the team races toward the trade deadline. Boyd’s last seven starts? A 2.41 ERA, including a seven-inning gem with just one run. Imanaga? A 2.00 ERA over eight starts, including a shutout against the reigning Cy Young winner. Their dominance isn’t just keeping games close—it’s winning them. With the front office still hunting for more arms, these two are already building a fearsome rotation that could carry the Cubs deep into the playoffs if they make it.

Three Thousand Strikes and Historic Moments | Chicago Cubs News

On July 26, 2005, Greg Maddux etched his name in baseball history with his 3,000th strikeout at Wrigley Field—joining an elite group of pitchers who’ve achieved both 3,000 strikeouts and 300 wins. That same date also marks a pivotal political moment: in 2016, Hillary Clinton became the first woman nominated by a major U.S. party for president, signaling a historic shift. Looking back, 1952 saw Adlai Stevenson, then Illinois governor, reluctantly accept the Democratic nomination for president, promising a fierce campaign before losing the election. Meanwhile, in 1964, Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa was convicted in Chicago on fraud and conspiracy charges tied to the union’s pension fund, part of a turbulent legal saga. And for a festive twist, 1985 launched Old St. Patrick’s Church’s legendary “World’s Largest Block Party,” a beloved neighborhood tradition that lasted decades until its final celebration in 2020.
