Cody Bellinger's grand slam capped a six-run third inning, and the Chicago Cubs rolled to a 10-4 home win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday, evening the teams' first series out of the All-Star break.
Chicago's third-inning eruption began when Christopher Morel drew a leadoff walk, Miguel Amaya got aboard when Boston starting pitcher James Paxton hit him, then Patrick Wisdom drew another walk to load the bases.
A double steal moved Hoerner to third and Seiya Suzuki to second, then Ian Happ drew the third walk of the inning, setting the stage for Bellinger's grand slam. It was the eighth of Bellinger's career, and his first as a Cub.The Red Sox got on the board when Justin Turner's double in the top half of the fourth inning eventually led to Alex Verdugo sending him home on a ground-out RBI.
Amaya finished the day 2-for-3, including a run-scoring single in the seventh inning. Wisdom went 1-for-3, and the home run was his 15th in 2023. Cubs starting pitcher Marcus Stroman allowed just the one fourth-inning run in his six innings en route to the win. He struck out three and limited Boston to three hits.
