Cubs Ride Depth to a 10-Game Win Streak Amid Injury Woes

Facing a spate of injuries including Opening Day starter Matthew Boyd, the Cubs have leaned into a true next-man-up mentality, rolling to a 10-game win streak (and 15 straight at Wrigley) as bullpen roles shift. Reliever Trent Thornton, recalled from Triple-A, delivered a clutch six-pitch outing in the 10th to seal a 7-6 walk-off win over the Reds, while Shota Imanaga and a rotating bullpen have stabilized the pitching staff and hitters such as Moisés Ballesteros, Matt Shaw and Michael Conforto have chipped in—all under manager Craig Counsell’s guidance.

Doncic Sets Unmatched NBA Milestones as Lakers Rally to Ninth Straight

Luka Doncic powered the Lakers to a 105-104 comeback win over the Magic, scoring 33 points to extend an unprecedented run as the first player in NBA history to score at least 30 points in nine straight wins. Across that stretch he totaled 250 points, 50 assists, 50 rebounds and 25 made 3-pointers over seven games, and he set Lakers single-season marks with seven 30-point triple-doubles and a team record for made 3s. The nine-game winning streak helped Los Angeles climb to third in the West, but Doncic nursed a potential one-game suspension on his 16th technical foul, which the team plans to appeal.
