Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images The Cubs stumble late in a 4-3 loss to the Orioles. Two games ago, I noted the Cubs had played .500 over the last 36 games. That number now is 38 games. This game is just stuck in neutral. While they are stuck there, the Brewers ran right past them. Nothing is over with more than 50 games remaining in the season, but as the season grows shorter, every game ba...2025
