How Mike Tauchman helped the Cubs to a rare win Wednesday

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:59:58 GMT

CHICAGO — A native of Palatine has arguably the highlight of his still-young Cubs' tenure while also helping the team snap a long streak on Wednesday evening. Mike Tauchman did so with his bat and with his baserunning at American Family Field against the Brewers.With the Cubs down 3-1 with two outs in the ninth against All-Star closer Devin Williams, the designated hitter doubled down the left field line to bring home the tying runs. Then came his exploits on the basepaths, as he took off for third when Nico Hoerner grounded to Brian Anderson for what looked like the third out. But the throw was a bit wide, and Owen Miller couldn't pick it up as Hoerner was safe. As the ball got away from the first baseman, Tauchman kept running and would beat the throw home to put the Cubs up 4-3. It was one of two runs that he scored on the night with his two-run double bringing him up to 19 RBI on the season. Adbert Alzolay finished off the win with a perfect ninth for his fifth save of the seaso...

3M Open golf: ‘It’s crunch time.’ Could struggling stars join field in hopes of securing spot in playoffs?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:59:58 GMT

J.T. Poston did not originally plan on playing in the 3M Open this year. It was understandable. Minnesota’s PGA Tour stop is not located on a favorable spot on the schedule — one week after The Open Championship across the pond.Even with a tournament-provided charter to the Twin Cities from Royal Liverpool in England, it’s a tough ask for many of the game’s top players to ignore the jet lag and fatigue and tee it up in Blaine the very next week after a major championship.But Poston’s plans have changed in recent weeks. The 30-year-old announced ahead of this week’s John Deere Classic, where he’s the defending champion, that he’ll indeed play in Minnesota again this summer.“Love the golf course,” Poston said of TPC Twin Cities at a news conference Wednesday. “I was planning on having a week off before (the Wyndham Championship) and playoffs, but right now I have to make sure I’m in the playoffs.”That’s the ...

By Moira Macdonald, The Seattle TimesIn honor of Major League Baseball’s All-Star Week, held in Seattle July 7-11, here are a handful of great movies and books that celebrate the game — and the art — of baseball.Movies“Bull Durham” (1988)Any list of great baseball movies that doesn’t begin with this one is, in my opinion, highly suspect. Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins play out one of cinema’s great romantic triangles in Ron Shelton’s delicious mixture of atmospheric sports movie and sexy rom-com. Watch it, and see if you don’t find yourself joining the Church of Baseball.“A League of Their Own” (1992)Penny Marshall’s irresistible comedy-drama follows a competitive pair of sisters (Geena Davis, Lori Petty) who join the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League — which was a real thing, from 1943 to 1954.
