Cubs On Tap Postgame Show: July 8, 2026 | Cubs 9, Orioles 7

(Season 8, Episode 21) It was almost a disaster, but the Cubs hung on to best the Orioles 9-7 on Wednesday night in Baltimore. Pete Crow-Armstrong accounted for two of the five home runs hit by Cubs players. PCA also joined the 20/20 club for the second consecutive season.

Colin Rea was serviceable, but the bullpen almost let him down in the end. They were able to hang on, and now the Cubs will look for the sweep on Thursday. Nick and Tommy have your full recap of the game right here.
