• 2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 72

Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images It was not pretty, but the Cubs took care of business with a 3-2 win. Had these last 13 games occurred in a different order, say reversed, I’m not sure that the Cubs wouldn’t have lost seven or even more. The Cubs didn’t play great during this stretch. To be clear, they didn’t play badly either. I’ve got the score over 13 games at 47-36 combined. Using...2025

David Banks-Imagn Images The offense stays stalled, but pitching carries the Cubs to a 2-1 win. Yet again, the Cubs offense struggled. For the first time this year, this team is not really rising to challenges. They are struggling day after day. But, they won again Saturday. One can simultaneously accept the win and that they did just enough while also recognizing that this team just isn’...2025

• Cubs 2, Pirates 1: Dansby Swanson’s home run is just enough

David Banks-Imagn Images The Cubs also got solid pitching and defense. The sun finally appeared at Wrigley Field Saturday afternoon following a dreary Friday and a cloudy morning. The Cubs offense, though, didn’t really show up, scoring just two runs. However, they also got outstanding pitching from Matthew Boyd and three relievers and Dansby Swanson’s tie-breaking homer in the sixth was t...2025

Salvador Perez, C, KC Perez hit his 4th HR of the season against the Twins on Monday as he is trying to shake off one of the worst slumps of his career. The veteran catcher has reached 20 HR's in each of the past 8 full seasons, but he is well behind that pace this season. This was his 2nd HR in 4 games however, so perhaps not all hope is lost.
