Michael Busch hit a grand slam as the Cubs destroyed the Brewers on Friday.
Busch doubled the Cubs’ lead from 4-0 to 8-0 with a bases-loaded homer — better known as a grand slam — off Quinn Priester in the second inning. He went hitless for the rest of the game, but if you hit a grand slam, you had a good day. Busch has homered six times, driven in 22 runs and forged an OPS of .894 over the first fifth of the season.

Pete Crow-Armstrong homered twice to lead the Cubs to a 10-0 victory over the Brewers on Friday.
Crow-Armstrong homered in the second inning, and added another off Joel Payamps in the eighth inning. The 23-year-old has impressed with the bat in 2025 as well as the glove, and fantasy managers have to be pleased as punch with what he’s provided in the early portion of the season. Don’t be surprised if there are ups and downs for the man they call PCA, but the better should outweigh the bitter.

Ben Brown fired six scoreless innings in a rout of the Brewers on Friday.
Brown didn’t need to be at his best with the Cubs providing football levels of offense, but he was awfully good. He scattered four hits, and he didn’t issue a walk with four strikeouts. The 25-year-old was shelled in his previous outing for six runs, but this was a reminder that there’s solid talent in his right arm. He’ll square off against the Giants next week; scheduled for Wednesday.

Matt Olson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk on Friday against the Dodgers.
Olson’s home run was the extent of the Braves’ offense here as they were completely stifled by Yoshinobu Yamamoto. He also drew a walk in the ninth inning, but was stranded at first base. While his .236 batting average has lagged a bit beneath his projections, he has a hit in 20 of his last 26 games since the calendar turned to April and will very likely wind up as one of the most productive run producers in the league when all is said and done this season.

Red Sox’ manager Alex Cora told reporters on Friday night that Triston Casas suffered a “significant knee injury” and is still being treated at the hospital.
Casas injured his left knee while running to first base during the second inning of Friday’s contest against the Twins and had to be carted off the field. It sounds like the 25-year-old slugger could be looking at an extended stay on the injured list. Expect the Red Sox to provide another update on his status, and probably make a couple of roster moves, prior to Saturday’s ballgame.

Carlos Santana went 2-for-4 and swatted his third home run of the season on Friday night as the Guardians fell to the Blue Jays in Toronto.
Santana got the Guardians on the board first in this one with his 345-foot (101.5 mph EV) solo shot off of Chris Bassitt in the second inning. The 39-year-old first baseman also delivered a run0-scoring single in the sixth inning. He’s off to a slow start at the dish this season, slashing just .229/.306/.330 to go with his three long balls and nine RBI. His days of fantasy relevancy are in the rearview mirror.
