Dansby Swanson had two hits hours after his wife won an Olympic gold medal, Miguel Amaya delivered a tiebreaking two-run single in the eighth inning, and the Chicago Cubs beat the White Sox 3-1 to complete a two-game sweep. Nico Hoerner walked leading off the eighth and took second on Swanson's single. Pete Crow-Armstrong moved the runners up with a sacrifice bunt, and Amaya lined a two-run single. Swanson capped an unforgettable day by singling twice, giving him 1,001 career hits. He did that hours after his wife, Mallory, scored the lone goal as the U.S. women's national team beat Brazil for the Olympic gold medal.
