Cubs News
The Cubs' recent 5-1 victory over the Giants marked a much-needed series win, the first since early May, sparking conversations about potential momentum as they sit three games over .500 at 36-34. However, the joy was dimmed by Seiya Suzuki’s early exit due to right knee discomfort, adding to the team’s injury woes. Despite inconsistent offensive production,averaging just 3.7 runs per game over the last week,players like Ian Happ and Michael Busch are showing signs of life. The front office may also need to get creative ahead of the trade deadline, particularly in pursuit of starting pitching. With a run differential of -10 over the past week, the Cubs can't afford to rest on their laurels as they look to build on this win and fend off the underperforming Giants in the next matchup.
