Henderson hits 3-run homer in the 8th in the Orioles' 4-3 victory over the Cubs

CHICAGO (AP) — Gunnar Henderson hit a three-run homer in a four-run eighth inning and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 on Saturday for their seventh victory in 10 games.

Jordan Westburg had an RBI single off Caleb Thielbar (2-3) in the eighth to end the Orioles’ scoreless streak at 18 innings. Henderson followed with his 13th homer.

Grant Wolfram (2-0) struck out two in a scoreless seventh. In the ninth, after Carson Kelly and Seiya Suzuki walked, Keegan Akin struck out Pete Crow-Armstrong for his first save.

Matthew Boyd threw seven strong innings for Chicago, and Nico Hoerner had three hits for the Cubs. They entered the day a game behind Milwaukee for the NL Central lead.

Willi Castro tripled and scored twice in his first game as a Cub after being acquired Thursday from Minnesota.

Thielbar allowed two runs and two hits in two-thirds of an inning for his third blown save.

Boyd, an All-Star, struck out eight, allowed four hits and walked none. He bounced back after giving up five runs in five innings Monday at Milwaukee.

The Cubs continued to pay tribute to Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg, who died Monday after battling prostate cancer, by wearing his No. 23 on blue jerseys with no name on the back. Highlights from Sandberg’s career played on the video board.

Chicago also held the cancer fundraiser Cubs for a Cure with fans and players holding placards naming loved ones after the fourth inning.

David Linde, the former chairman of Universal Pictures and CEO of Participant Media, has been named CEO of the Sundance Institute. The nonprofit organization said Thursday that Linde will assume the role on Feb. 17, after this year’s festival concludes.

“I am honored to join Sundance Institute as CEO to steward an organization that is essential to independent artists, the broader creative community, and culture at large,” Linde said in a statement.

His role will include overseeing the Sundance Film Festival’s transition to Boulder, Colorado, in 2027, as well as managing the year-round Sundance Institute programs, including artist labs, grants and fellowships.

A Hollywood veteran, Linde has worked across television and film for decades, cofounding Focus Features and overseeing numerous Oscar nominees and winners in his various roles. During Linde’s time at Participant, which shuttered in 2024, the company produced two best picture winners: “Spotlight” and “Green Book.” He also produced “Arrival.”

Sundance has been operating under an interim CEO, Amanda Kelso, since early 2024 when Joana Vicente stepped down. Vicente had replaced Keri Putnam in 2021. The Institute’s most high-profile event, the annual Sundance Film Festival, is gearing up for its last edition in Park City, Utah which will kick off next week.

Ebs Burnough, board chair of the Sundance Institute, said in a statement that, “David brings a rare combination of industry fluency, social cause management, and deep commitment to artists, positioning the organization to build on our legacy while advancing our mission for the future.”
