Cubs News
The Chicago Cubs' recent struggles continued as they fell 3-4 to the Milwaukee Brewers, showcasing just how difficult the path ahead will be for a team still eyeing postseason glory. With a disappointing -6 run differential over the last week, this team can't afford to sulk, especially with key players like Dansby Swanson nearing a return from injury. A series sweep at the hands of their rivals highlighted the need for near-perfect execution if they hope to contend with Milwaukee down the stretch. Meanwhile, in the minor leagues, Iowa Cubs pitcher Jordan Wicks faced challenges, emphasizing the depth issues plaguing the organization as 12 players remain on the IL. As the Cubs gear up for another showdown with the Brewers tonight, it’s clear they need to turn things around fast if they want to secure their playoff spot.
