Cubs Dominate Athletics in Sacramento Opener; Kelly Hits for Cycle
The Chicago Cubs kicked off the 2025 MLB season with a resounding victory against the Oakland Athletics in their new temporary home, Sutter Health Park in Sacramento. The Cubs clinched a decisive 18-3 win on March 31, marking a strong start to the season.
Carson Kelly of the Cubs was the standout performer of the game, achieving the rare feat of hitting for the cycle - a single, double, triple, and home run in the same game. Kelly's performance not only highlighted the Cubs' offensive prowess but also set a positive tone for the team's campaign.
Despite the Athletics' efforts to make a mark in their new venue, the game ended in a blowout loss, underscoring the challenges ahead for the team as they adjust to their temporary residency in Sacramento. The Athletics are set to play at Sutter Health Park for the next few years while awaiting the completion of their new stadium in Las Vegas.
