• Peralta shines, offense does just enough in Brewers’ 4-0 victory over Cubs

Michael McLoone-Imagn Images Big hits from unlikely sources get Brewers over the line Box Score After two ugly losses to their biggest rival, the Brewers turned to their ace, Freddy Peralta, to stop their three-game skid. Peralta responded with six fabulous innings, followed by three more good ones from the bullpen, and Milwaukee’s struggling offense did just enough — and capitalized on Ch...2025

The Cubs took him deep three times in rapid succession, scoring six runs in all against ...2025

Photo by Justin K. Aller/Getty Images The Cubs did something off Skenes that had never before been done by any team. After the Cubs lost Wednesday evening, with Paul Skenes looming on the horizon, a series loss might have been possible. “Not for this Cubs team,” said Cubs hitters. They smashed four home runs, three of them off Skenes — in one inning, the fifth. Dansby Swanson, Kyle Tucker ...2025

Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images The Cubs were pounded by the Phillies, 10-4. The Cubs haven’t had a lot of completely uncompetitive games. This was the first one since April 14, when they also lost to the Padres 10-4. If this were to happen regularly, I’d be concerned about it. Maybe. But, at every few weeks, it is what it is.
