Kyle Tucker blasts two home runs, leading the Cubs to a dominant victory over the Angels.

In a dominant display of offensive firepower, the Chicago Cubs outclassed the struggling Los Angeles Angels in a lopsided 12-1 victory on Sunday.

The game was set in motion early, with Kyle Tucker, the Cubs' star outfielder, homering for the first time in the third inning. The key moment came when Michael Busch's double allowed Tucker to score, setting the stage for a memorable day.

Tucker's performance was nothing short of spectacular, as he went on to homer twice in the game. This was his eighth multihomer game and the first since May 2024 against the Angels with Houston. His impressive display earned him a total of five RBIs, leading the Cubs' offensive charge.

The Cubs' strong start was further bolstered in the fourth inning when Reese McGuire hit a grand slam, giving the team a commanding 6-0 lead. McGuire added another grand slam to his tally and tied a career high with five RBIs.

Cade Horton, the Cubs' pitcher, delivered a stellar performance, pitching six scoreless innings to secure the win. His impressive outing was marred slightly by the Angels' late surge, with Jo Adell homering in the seventh and seventh innings, respectively.

The Angels' struggles continued, as they have now lost two out of three games against the Cubs and fallen to 2-6 since their three-game sweep of the Dodgers from Aug. 11-13.

Up next, the Angels RHP Kyle Hendricks will face his former team, the Cubs, with Cubs RHP Jameson Taillon as the opposing pitcher. The Angels will be hoping to bounce back and end their losing streak, but they face a tough task against the formidable Cubs lineup.

The Angels managed a total of eight hits in the game, but their efforts were not enough to prevent the Cubs from securing a convincing victory. The Angels also welcomed back right-handed reliever Robert Stephenson, who had been out since May 31 due to right biceps inflammation.

Ben Brown earned his first major league save for the Cubs in the game, capping off a resounding victory for the team. However, it's worth noting that Pete Crow-Armstrong's ninth-inning home run, which lifted the Cubs to victory in a separate game against the Angels, was not mentioned in the provided paragraphs.

Victor Mederos and Carson Fulmer were collectively charged with all 12 of the Cubs' runs in the game, indicating a challenging outing for the Angels' pitching staff. The Angels will be looking to regroup and mount a comeback in their next match against the Cubs.
