CUBS DESTROY MARINERS 19–2 IN BASEBALL BLOWOUT!
P. Ramirez goes 3-for-6 with a homer and 5 RBI as Chicago goes absolutely bananas in Seattle.
⚾ πŸ’₯ 🐻
P. Ramirez & the Cubs made the Mariners feel very sad on Sunday. Final: Cubs 19, Mariners 2.

Holy cow, the Chicago Cubs went absolutely NUCLEAR on the Seattle Mariners yesterday, winning 19–2 in one of the biggest baseball beatdowns of the entire season! Seventeen runs is an insane margin, and the Cubs made sure every single inning was painful for Seattle fans.

The star of the show was P. Ramirez, who went 3-for-6 at the plate with a home run, 5 RBI, and 3 runs scored β€” basically a one-man wrecking crew. When one guy drives in 5 runs and scores 3 times himself, you know the Cubs were absolutely cooking. This monster win moves Chicago to 75–56 on the season, keeping them 9.5 games behind the NL Central-leading Brewers (81–50). The Cubs are locked in a tight race for playoff positioning, and a 19-run performance is a great way to make a statement!

Meanwhile, poor Seattle drops to 62–69. The Mariners are 3.5 games back in the AL West and really can't afford games like this. For Chicago though? Pop the confetti β€” 19 runs is something you tell your grandkids about! πŸŽ‰

⚾ MLB β€” Sunday Scores (August 23, 2026)

What a loaded Sunday slate! Fifteen MLB games went final yesterday. Beyond the Cubs' monster win, Fernando Tatis Jr. went off for 4-for-5 with 2 home runs and 4 RBI to lead the Padres past the Twins 8–1. The Little League Classic in Williamsport, PA saw the Braves beat the Brewers 4–2, with C. Yelich going 2-for-3 for Milwaukee in the showcase game. Blake Snell was brilliant for the Dodgers too, tossing 6 shutout innings in a 4–0 blanking of the Pirates.

🏈 NFL Preseason β€” Sunday, August 23, 2026

Just one NFL preseason game on Sunday, and the Tennessee Titans came out on top! The Titans beat the Seattle Seahawks 19–16 in a close contest. D. Lock was sharp at QB, going 12-for-14 for 103 yards and a touchdown, while running back J. Wright added 81 rushing yards and a score on 8 carries. It's only preseason β€” real stats don't count toward the regular season β€” but the Titans are a perfect 2–0 in the preseason so far! The regular season kicks off in a few weeks, so these games are all about figuring out the roster. Get excited, because NFL football is almost back for real!
