| Shinn Slugs Hawks to 7-2 Win | In the 7-2 Chicago win over Phoenix, the impact of Matt Shinn was substantial. Shinn, who finished 2nd in the IL in extra base hits with 59 in 2025, was 2 for 3 with 2 home runs and 2 walks. Casey Basler picked up the save for Chicago, his 1st of the year. Chicago, now 2-0, is setting the league on fire so far.
Chicago took a 7-2 lead on Juan Chico's 1st home run of the season. The grand slam home run, which Chico hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Phoenix pitcher Jason Wilkinson visibly frustrated.
"Nice win for us," said Chico. "Now we'll go after the next one."
