4/30/24 Morel hits tiebreaking HR off Díaz in 9th and Cubs top Mets 3-1 after spoiling Severino's no-hit bid. Christopher Morel hit a two-run homer off Edwin Díaz to snap a ninth-inning tie and the Chicago Cubs beat the New York Mets 3-1 after being held hitless by Luis Severino into the eighth. Dansby Swanson singled off Severino with nobody out in the eighth for Chicago’s first hit, putting runners at first and second following a leadoff walk to Michael Busch. With runners at the corners one out later, pinch-hitter Nick Madrigal hit a broken-bat grounder to third baseman Joey Wendle, who made an ill-advised decision to try for an inning-ending double play. Madrigal beat the relay to first, and the Cubs evened it at 1. Brandon Nimmo hit his 13th career leadoff homer for the Mets.

Chicago Cubs Slugger Starting to Improve Defensively at Third Base There was some worry coming into the season that the Chicago Cubs might not be able to find a defensive position for one of their young sluggers, but he's started to improve. Author: Brad Wakai Apr 14, 2024 In this story: Chicago Cubs MLB Christopher Morel The Chicago Cubs seemingly had a major need at third base this offseason despite having multiple players on their roster who could theoretically be used at that position. All three have their strengths and weaknesses. Nick Madrigal is considered the best defender out of the group, but he doesn't bring a whole lot of pop offensively. Patrick Wisdom does, but he also struggles

4/06/24 How a change in plate approach is helping the Cubs' offense. When asked about third baseman Christopher Morel's plate approach, manager Craig Counsell brought up the Texas Rangers as an example. “You see it with the Rangers and how they approach offense,” Counsell said.

4/01/24 The Rockies' pair of embarrassing outfield gaffes led to 3 runs for the Cubs. The Colorado Rockies are off to a 1-3 star in 2024, and if the bottom of the sixth inning of Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs was any indication, it may be a long season. In a scoreless tie, the Rockies suffered a pair of comically bad errors in the outfield as what should have been a single to load the bases resulted in a trio of runs for Chicago. With runners at first and second, Christopher Morel hit a deep single to left field, and the Cubs ultimately opted to hold the runner at third.
