Ryan Pressly, Kyle Tucker & Justin Turner's wives cheer on their husbands at Cubs' exhibition game at Tokyo Dome 

Ryan Pressly, Kyle Tucker, Matthew Boyd, and Justin Turner have traveled to Japan along with their fellow Cubs teammates for the Tokyo Series, which begins on Tuesday. Chicago will face the incumbent World Series champions (LA Dodgers) in the Tokyo series.

Wives of many of these ballplayers accompanied them to Japan to cheer for them and boost their morale. On Saturday, the Cubs took on the Hanshin Tigers of the NPB in an exhibition game inside Tokyo Dome in a lead-up to game 1 of the series against the Dodgers.

Wives of Ryan Pressly (Kat), Kyle Tucker (Samantha), Matthew Boyd (Ashley), and Justin Turner (Kourtney) were present in the stands to showcase support for their partners inside Tokyo Dome. Kat Pressly even shared a couple of images from inside the stadium with the captions:

"Here we go!"

Chicago lost the game 3-0 against the Tigers and were effectively shut down in the game. They played the game after a two-day resting period that saw the ballplayers venture into Tokyo city along with their partners and spend some quality time with them.

While losing is a part of the game, Chicago will be solely focused on making an impact against the Dodgers on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday, two of Cubs' Japanese players Seiya Suzuki and Shota Imanaga had thrown a welcome party for their teammates and their partners in Tokyo.

Kourtney Turner shared some highlights from the party in a social media post, with a caption that read:

"Such an honor to attend @seiya510217 & @shotaimanaga’s welcome party and thank you @airihatakeyama for the gift of wearing a traditional Japanese kimono. 🤍 "
