The Rundown: Cubs Batter Reds, Candelario Excited to Be Back, Hoyer Crushing on Belli, Valdez No-Hits Guardians

I’ve seen two games in my lifetime where the Cubs hit six or more home runs and scored 20 or more runs. The first one was in 1977 when the Phillies beat the Cubs 23-22 despite three home runs by Dave Kingman and seven RBI by Bill Buckner. Last night, Chicago’s North Side Baseballers demolished the Reds 20-9 as a very powerful way of thanking president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer for not selling at this year’s trade deadline.
