Cubs News
The Chicago Cubs are riding high with a scorching 7-0 week, including yesterday's convincing 8-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds, and have now secured two distinct ten-game winning streaks before even reaching their 40th game, a feat achieved by only four other teams in MLB history. As they prepare to face the Texas Rangers, all eyes are on Ben Brown, who will take the mound in a start that could redefine the Cubs' season amid a backdrop of bullpen turmoil and injuries. Meanwhile, the Cubs have activated Ethan Roberts and are rumored to be eyeing a potential blockbuster trade for Freddy Peralta, suggesting they are not just resting on their recent success but are aiming for sustained dominance. The momentum is palpable, and this team is hungry for more.
