Tauchman belts game-tying home run
Mike Tauchman belted a game-tying three-run homer in the eighth inning on Sunday night, but it wasn’t enough to lead the Cubs past the Red Sox. The Cubs entered the eighth inning trailing 4-1 on Sunday night, but they started a rally as Pete Crow-Armstrong and Nico Hoerner started the frame with singles and Tauchman followed with a 402-foot (104.3 mph EV) three-run shot that tied things up at 4-4. That would be the extent of their offense though. Tauchman finished the night 2-for-4 and is now hitting a healthy .294/.429/.500 with three homers, 10 RBI and one stolen base on the season.
Vientos hits walk-off HR in 11th for Mets
Mark Vientos walked it off with a two-run homer in the bottom of the 11th as the Mets beat the Cardinals 4-2 on Sunday. Harrison Bader had previously tied the game with a single. Vientos entered the game as a pinch-hitter for Brett Baty against lefty Matthew Liberatore in the ninth and singled. He then remained in to play third base and, surprisingly, got another crack at Liberatore in the 11th. With Vientos going 3-for-4 so far in what was supposed to be a brief stay with the Mets, one wonders if the Mets might send Baty down and give Vientos a real chance at the third. It’d be a downgrade defensively, but the Mets would have Joey Wendle available to take over late in games.
