Overview

• Justin Turner pinch-hit for Michael Busch in the ninth inning and launched a two-run homer to give Chicago a 5–3 win over Baltimore.
• The shot marked Turner’s first regular-season walk-off home run in his 17-season major league career and the Cubs’ first such blast since June 5, 2024.
• At 40 years and 254 days old, Turner eclipsed Davey Lopes’s 1986 record as the oldest Cub to end a game with a walk-off homer.
• The Orioles had tied the game in the top of the ninth on Ryan Noda’s pinch-hit single, resulting in Daniel Palencia’s second blown save of the season.
• Chicago recorded its sixth walk-off win of 2025 but remains two games behind the Brewers in the NL Central as bullpen consistency continues to be scrutinized.
