The Chicago Cubs dominated the Detroit Tigers 11–2 on July 21 at Wrigley Field, blowing past the Vegas total of 8.5 runs with a decisive offensive performance. The Cubs' lineup generated 11 hits and 11 RBIs while drawing 11 walks, posting a combined .754 OPS despite a modest .246 batting average. Detroit's pitching proved costly, surrendering all 11 earned runs while issuing 11 walks—a troubling combination that underscored the Tigers' inability to maintain control. The Cubs' pitching staff limited Detroit to just 7 hits and 2 runs, striking out 6 while keeping walks to 3. Though Detroit's pitchers managed 9 strikeouts, their 4.26 ERA and the offensive meltdown left little room for a comeback in what became a runaway victory. Chicago's discipline at the plate and Detroit's walk-heavy pitching performance created a wide margin that exposed the Tigers' current vulnerabilities.
