Cubs News
The Chicago Cubs continue to roll, clinching their fourth straight win with a 4-2 victory over the New York Mets, thanks to a pinch-hit home run from Carson Kelly that sealed the deal. This offensive surge comes as the Cubs are flexing their muscles, averaging 7.1 runs per game over the past week. Meanwhile, the injury bug has bitten the bullpen, leaving Ben Brown as the last reliable option following Daniel Palencia's setback. On the farm, excitement brews as Jordan Wicks returned with a solid rehab start for Triple-A Iowa, and prospect Pedro Ramirez is making noise that could challenge the Cubs' roster decisions. As the team sits at 10-9, the energy at Wrigley Field is palpable, highlighted by fans celebrating friendships in quirky hot dog costumes. It's a warm time for Cubs fans, and the momentum seems to be building.
