They&#8217;ve scored a total of 10 runs in the first inning of their past three NLDS games, with three crucial runs coming from a three-run home run by Ian Happ on Wednesday night. While this would have been enough for the Cubs to secure the win, given their pitching staff&#8217;s dominance, star slugger Kyle Tucker added insurance with a majestic solo shot in the 7th inning.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" data-mm-id=\"_gh1ch1tj6\">\n<div>\n<figure data-id=\"_gh1ch1tj6\" data-mm-type=\"image\"><canvas><\/canvas><picture><source \/><source \/><source \/><img title=\"Chicago Cubs right fielder Kyle Tucker (30) hits a home run on October 9, 2025\" alt=\"Kyle Tucker Gets Real About Cubs Fans \u2014 And It\u2019s Hard To Disagree\" \/><\/picture><\/figure>\n<p>Matt Marton-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_uhhwiltu0\">Chicago needed all the help they could get when heading to Wrigley Field after dropping the first two games on the road of this series. And the Cubs&#8217; fan base delivered, providing a ton of energy and enthusiasm over the past two nights.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_zlbestnnx\">And Kyle Tucker showed these fans a lot of love when speaking with Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network postgame.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_ibdik4fud\"><strong>MORE<\/strong>: Rumored Kyle Tucker Free Agency Destinations Will Frustrate Cubs Fans<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_wkz3hmys1\">When talking about his home run, Tucker took a pause to smile, as the Wrigley Field crowd was singing in the background. &#8220;Sorry, it&#8217;s kind of hard to hear in here, everyone&#8217;s so loud. I can&#8217;t even hear myself think!&#8221; he said, per an X post from Marquee Sports Network.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_hzwlokst7\">Tucker later added, &#8220;This fanbase is phenomenal.

I mean, I can barely hear myself talk or think right now. I mean, these fans deserve the world. They&#8217;ve been supporting us all year long, every single year, every single day; they come out and support us.
