The Chicago Cubs celebrated Greg Maddux Tarp Sliding Bobblehead Day at Wrigley Field, where the ceremony started with a 100-year-old man throwing the first pitch. This festive atmosphere culminated in an unforgettable moment as 40-year-old Justin Turner hit a two-run walk-off home run, clinching a 5-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. This win is significant, not just for the scoreboard, but as it may be a turning point in the Cubs' season as they trail the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Central.

Turner, who hadn't consistently hit while coming off the bench, celebrated his first regular-season walk-off home run after 1,736 games. The emotional context of the weekend, filled with tributes to Cubs legend Ryne Sandberg, added to the significance of the victory. His teammates reflected on Turner's leadership and commitment, proving that a veteran's value often reaches beyond statistics.
