Matthew Boyd Shines as Cubs End Yankees’ Winning Streak

Matthew Boyd delivered a masterful performance as the Chicago Cubs defeated the New York Yankees 5-2 — ending Yankees’ five-game winning streak.

The All-Star lefty matchup ended early for Max Fried due to a blister on his pitching hand. Boyd secured his fourth consecutive win with a dominant eight-inning shutout performance.

Aaron Judge made history by becoming the fastest player to reach 350 home runs — breaking Mark McGwire’s record by achieving the milestone in 1,088 games compared to McGwire’s 1,280.

Cubs built their lead early through:
* Nico Hoerner’s triple leading to the first run
* RBI singles from Carson Kelly and Ian Happ
* Dansby Swanson’s RBI grounder

Kelly extended Cubs’ advantage with a home run in the eighth inning, before Judge closed out the game with a two-run homer in the ninth.
