Chicago Cubs Score and Recap (9/7/25): Nationals 6, Cubs 3 – Palencia Blows Save, Injured in Loss

The Cubs and Nationals met in the deciding game of their series at Wrigley Field Sunday afternoon. Chicago was in command most of the way before a meltdown in the 9th inning cost them a win and possibly a significant piece of the bullpen.

The North Siders went ahead when Carson Kelly hit a solo home run off Andrew Alverez on the bottom of the 2nd. Colin Rea took over after Drew Pomeranz opened the game and gave up a game-tying sacrifice fly to Brady House in the top of the 5th.
