Chicago Cubs News & Updates
The Chicago Cubs were 44-38, 2nd in the NL Central. Yesterday, the Chicago Cubs dropped one to the Milwaukee Brewers 2-6 at American Family Field.
Could tip either way. A 4-run loss last night is the biggest weight on the score. But going 5-1 in a week will do nice things for the temperature.

Cubs News
The Chicago Cubs are riding a wave of success with a 5-1 record over the past week, thanks to an impressive offensive output averaging 7.0 runs per game, but they face a tough challenge against the Milwaukee Brewers this weekend. After edging the New York Mets 4-3, the Cubs' bats are heating up with Pete Crow-Armstrong leading the charge. However, the Cubs are not without their troubles, the injury bug continues to bite as Maton heads back to the injured list with knee tendinitis. With Colin Rea set to take the mound against Milwaukee's ace Jacob Misiorowski, the Cubs will need to bring their A-game to maintain momentum. As trade talks swirl around potential targets like Sonny Gray, the pressure is on to solidify their position in the division.
