Cubs News
The Chicago Cubs' recent slump in Texas, capped off with a 0-3 loss to the Rangers, feels like a speed bump in an otherwise impressive stretch. Despite this hiccup, the Cubs are still riding high, boasting a remarkable 20-5 record over their last 25 games, showcasing their resilience and offensive prowess, especially with hot bats like Michael Conforto hitting .364. Yet, the looming injury of Hunter Harvey hangs over the bullpen, adding a layer of concern as they prepare to face another tough opponent. As they gear up for a series in Atlanta, the Cubs must shake off last night’s defeat and harness their historic momentum, especially since they still hold a solid grip on the division lead with a 27-14 record.
