• Cardinals 8, Cubs 6: Well, that was ugly, despite another great game from Michael Busch

Photo by Geoff Stellfox/Getty Images A stirring comeback went for naught when the Cubs bullpen blew up in the eighth. The Cubs bullpen has been so good this year that having an inning like the one Brad Keller had in the eighth inning of the Cubs’ 8-6 loss to the Cardinals is, frankly, shocking. It turned on one play in that inning, and I’ll get to that, but first things first. The Drew Pom...2025

Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images The Cubs offense was absent but pitchers picked up the slack in a 1-0 win. Hey, did I miss anything in the comments while I was out yesterday?

• Cubs 1, Guardians 0: Matt Shaw walks it off

Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images The Cubs get great pitching and just enough offense and complete a series sweep. The Cubs offense nearly disappeared Thursday evening at Wrigley Field against the Guardians. They had just three hits, all singles. That plus three walks was the extent of the offense, and in the first nine innings just two Cubs got past first base. Eleven Cubs struck out. But th...2025

They began the week with a 3½-game division lead and still lead by two, which... isn’t great, but isn’t terrible either. Hopefully, a six-game homestand will help them increase that lead again.
