Not a great stretch. A -14 run differential over the last 7. The margins are ugly. Compounding things, pitching at 5.6 RA/G. That's a problem.

Cubs News

In a stunning turnaround, the Chicago Cubs snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, walking off against the San Francisco Giants 3-2 in dramatic fashion after yesterday's humiliating 18-3 loss. Pete Crow-Armstrong emerged as the hero, launching two homers, including a clutch game-tying shot with two outs in the ninth. His late-game heroics not only revitalized Wrigley Field but also hinted at the resilience this team needs after a rough stretch, now 2-5 over the last week. Meanwhile, the Cubs are bolstering their roster, acquiring Antoine Kelly from the Dodgers, while Ben Brown continues to impress on the mound, putting in solid performances that could be pivotal as they shape their future. With the Giants coming to town, the Cubs must harness this momentum to overcome their recent struggles.
