With their fifth straight victory, the Cubs improved to 31-24 and widened their lead atop the NL Central.</p><p>Shaw, one of the Cubs’ most highly touted young talents, stepped up with two outs in the 11th after Michael Busch tied the game with a clutch RBI single. With runners on and tension high, the rookie delivered the <a href="https://x.com/MLB/status/1927562367455351087" rel="noopener">biggest swing of the night</a> — a bloop single to right that sent Wrigley into a frenzy.</p><p>MLB’s official account on X (formerly Twitter) posted the moment, capturing the rookie’s walk-off in real time.</p><p>“The rookie gets it done 😤</p><p>Matt Shaw walks it off for the @Cubs!”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">The rookie gets it done 😤</p><p>Matt Shaw walks it off for the <a href="https://twitter.com/Cubs?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Cubs</a>! <a href="https://t.co/dZOdy4lTgc">pic.twitter.com/dZOdy4lTgc</a></p><p>— MLB (@MLB) <a href="https://twitter.com/MLB/status/1927562367455351087?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 28, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The game wasn’t easy. Colorado briefly took the lead in the top half of the 11th inning when Brenton Doyle grounded out to score the go-ahead run. But the Cubs, who have now gone 8-2 in their last 10, showed why they’ve become one of the hottest teams in baseball.</p><p>Rookie Pete Crow-Armstrong started as the free runner on second in the bottom of the inning and quickly stole third base. Busch tied the game, and after a pinch-runner and a walk, the stage was set for Shaw.</p><p>The walk-off win capped a night that showcased the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/chicago-cubs/cubs-news-pete-crow-armstrong-reaction-grand-slam-6-rbi-night">Cubs’ depth, resilience, and youthful energy</a>. Shaw, selected 13th overall in the 2023 MLB Draft, has quickly made an impact at the next level. His single was just his 21st hit of the season, but may go down as the most memorable so far.</p><p>As the Cubs winning streak rolls on, the energy in Chicago continues to rise. With strong showings from both rookies and veterans, the team looks locked in heading into the weekend.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Reds lead 6-1, looking to avenge their 13-6 loss to the Cubbies last night. If Chicago can turn things around, then it will be the team’s fourth win in a row. Earlier in the game, with the score at a more manageable 2-1 deficit, Cubs rookie third baseman Matt Shaw made a throw that wowed the crowd at Great American Ballpark. His <a href="https://x.com/MLB/status/1926387607958614054" rel="noopener">out-of-this-world falling throw</a> to nail Reds infielder Santiago Espinal was posted by MLB on X, formerly Twitter.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Matt Shaw shows off the arm to get the out at first!  💪 <a href="https://t.co/TCf4d5YnhX">pic.twitter.com/TCf4d5YnhX</a></p><p>— MLB (@MLB) <a href="https://twitter.com/MLB/status/1926387607958614054?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 24, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>“Matt Shaw shows off the arm to get the out at first!” posted MLB’s official account on the social media platform.</p><p>The play was just the latest in a line of excellent defensive plays by the rookie. It is one of the many reasons that Cubs manager Craig Counsell and the team brass sought to bring <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/cubs-news-recall-top-prospect-second-chance-in-show">Shaw back to the majors</a> once again. After breaking camp with the team out of Spring Training, Shaw struggled in his first big league stint, resulting in being sent back down to Triple-A. After some adjustments, his bat came back to life, and the franchise was forced to give him back the third base role. Now, Shaw is looking to prove their faith in him, and plays like today’s help cement that belief.</p><h2><b>Matt Shaw looks to repay faith from Craig Counsell, Cubs</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Cubs-manager-Craig-Counsell.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Katie Stratman-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Since his return back to the big leagues a few days ago, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/cubs-news-trade-chicago-will-try-make-after-recalling-top-prospect">Shaw’s bat has stayed hot.</a> He’s hitting .313 across the last four games, including two runs batted in and two steals. Although he’s hit towards the bottom of the order, if this form continues, then Counsell will likely move him up in due time. Both the team’s leadership and their fans hope he is the latest in a long line of position players that have established themselves as big league contributors.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/star-prospect-to-rejoin-cubs-soon-after-hr-frenzy-in-minors">Shaw’s ascendency has been especially</a> fun to watch, as the Cubs were aggressive with his development. He was a 2023 MLB Draft first round selection. Now, he’s the starting third baseman. If his growth continues this steady trend upwards while plying his trade on the North Side, then the Cubs might finally have their first consistent third baseman since Kris Bryant in his prime. For a team looking to return to the postseason once again, that would be a welcome sight indeed.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
