Late Homers Sizzle Braves Past Cubs 6-3

The Braves defeated the Cubs 6-3 on September 15, 2026, helped by a late two-run homer that broke a close game after Kevin Gausman had pitched well into the sixth. Chicago had early traffic with four hits and four walks but failed to convert big innings. Cubs reliever Edward Cabrera lingered scoreless for 2.1 innings before surrendering the decisive two-run blast, and Jacob Webb allowed a homer and a four-pitch walk to extend Chicago’s trouble. Tyrone Taylor provided highlight plays in left, while Cabrera was named the Ankin Law Player of the Game for the Cubs. Full box score and postgame coverage follow.

Box-Score Brilliance, Grading Reality: Williams’ Week 1 PFF Disconnect

Caleb Williams produced 334 total yards and four touchdowns in Week 1, but earned a 64.0 PFF passing grade because PFF grades judge what the QB did on each play, not the final box score. Williams had a mix of positives and a costly -1.5 play that could have altered his line if penalties hadn’t intervened, and his accuracy stats show a gap between a high completion rate (72.4%) and ball placement quality (low accurate-throws rate). The result highlights how box-score results can diverge from play-by-play evaluation when execution and throw quality are weighed more than outcomes.

Brewers edge Cubs 4-3 in extras after late Cubs lead and ninth-inning drama

Cubs led late thanks to a Carson Kelly pinch-hit two-run double and a six-inning gem from Aaron Civale, but Seiya Suzuki’s aggressive baserunning and a fatigued bullpen let Milwaukee tie the game with a two-out, two-run homer by Jackson Chourio in the bottom of the ninth. The Brewers carried the momentum into extras, and despite Chicago’s best efforts, Milwaukee pulled out a 4-3 win as the Cubs’ late bullpen woes overshadowed Civale’s strong performance and Suzuki’s baserunning miscue.

Clark Struggles in Italy Test as USA Advances in World Cup

Caitlin Clark followed her historic World Cup opener with a rough performance against Italy, going 0-for-6 for 1 point (plus 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal) as the U.S. won 55-52. Through two games her updated box score shows a drop in scoring while Team USA again battled through inefficient shooting (28.6%) and more turnovers than assists, with A'ja Wilson out. The Americans have clinched a quarterfinal spot, close the group stage vs. Czechia, and coach Kara Lawson may rest some starters, potentially giving Clark more minutes in the knockout rounds.

Pete Crow-Armstrong launched a two-run homer to briefly put the Cubs ahead, while Miguel Amaya homered in the ninth; Chicago hopes to salvage the series against the White Sox next.

In a tense 2-1 extra-innings win, the Giants took the lead in the 10th when Matt Chapman delivered an RBI single that scored the ghost-runner, and they held on as the Cubs wasted scoring chances.
