Matthew Boyd, a first-time All-Star this year, won’t be pitching in the Midsummer Classic Tuesday.
Fortunately for the Cubs, Boyd put together a classic outing in his Saturday start against the Yankees. He became the first Cubs starter to go eight full innings in 2025, allowing just four hits, and the Cubs evened up the series in New York with a 5-2 win.
The Cubs didn’t waste any time getting on the board in this one after being shut out Friday. Nico Hoerner hit Max Fried’s third pitch of the game for a triple [VIDEO].
