Runners at first and third. The pitch. White hits a high flyball, shallow center field.

Pete Crow Armstrong makes the catch. And the Cubs win the ball game. It's a save for Daniel

Palancia. Two straight wins over Atlanta.

They were two straight wins over Atlanta.

Thanks to Pat Hughes and Ron Kumer on the call.

This is Bohemian Harris on 670 the score.

Kevin Alcantara, part of that game as well.

And Daniel Palencia, as you heard, picks up save number 22 of the year.

We go out to our Circa Sports Illinois hotline, download the Circa app today,

and that is where we are joined by Cubs General Manager Carter Hawkins. And during our conversations

with Carter, we highlight the work of Paws Chicago, whose mission is to build no-kill communities

to end overpopulation of homeless animals and to transform animal welfare. Carter, thank you for joining
