CUBS POSTGAME: Wrigley Field MAGIC Continues! 14th Straight Home Win SEALS Reds Series! | CHGO Cubs

The Chicago Cubs pulled off a historic, back-to-back-to-back walk-off victory against the Cincinnati Reds, sealing a 7-6 win in 10 innings at Wrigley Field and extending their home winning streak to 14 games. The CHGO Cubs podcast celebrates the emotional rollercoaster of the game, highlighting Pete Crow Armstrong’s game-tying opposite-field home run in the ninth inning — a moment described as 'chills' and 'magical' — and Michael Bush’s walk-off single in the 10th. Hosts Joey Christopoulos and Justin Roman emphasize the team’s resilience, calling them the 'Freddy Krueger Cubs' for their ability to survive collapses and deliver under pressure. Despite a bullpen implosion in the ninth — where Corbin Martin failed to hold a 4-2 lead — the Cubs rallied with clutch hitting and a dominant relief performance from rookie Trent Thornton. The episode also confronts the growing injury crisis, including Matthew Boyd’s meniscus tear, which forces the Cubs to rely on a patchwork rotation and bullpen. Yet, the hosts remain optimistic, crediting the team’s 'next man up' mentality and the emergence of role players like PCA and Thornton as key to their success. As the Cubs sit 18-3 over their last 21 games, the podcast reflects on the legacy of Kerry Wood’s 20-strikeout game 20 years prior, drawing a parallel between that legendary moment and tonight’s historic comeback.
