Cubs Crush Diamondbacks, Extend Win Streak

It's May 3rd. Welcome in. This is MLB News Today, where baseball meets AI.

Chicago Cubs just smoked the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-4 on Sunday, keeping their hot streak alive with a fifth win in a row.

Michael Bush was the star, ripping a three-run triple and adding a sacrifice fly to power the offense.

Moisee's Balisteros crushed a Homer, and starter Matthew Boyd went six strong innings, giving up just two runs to improve to 2-1 on the year.

The Cubs piled on in the third and fifth innings to build a big lead.

This pushed Chicago at 22 and 12, a season high 10 games over 500, and they've now won 11 straight at home the first time.

Since their 14 game run back in 2008, fans are buzzing about this in-out central leader heating up at 15 wins and three losses over their last 18.

Arizona fought back with two-run blasts from Gabriel Moreno, an Adrian del Castillo, but Merrill Kelly struggled, allowing six runs in 4-1-1.

Third innings as the D-backs dropped their fourth straight. They loaded the bases in the seventh, but couldn't cash in.

Cubs got booze from Carson Kelly's two hits in two RBI's, plus Nico Hurner going two for five in his return from a neck issue.

Chicago's rolling deep right now, looking unstoppable at Riggly.
