Cubs News
David Peterson’s impressive debut on the mound for the Cubs, where he gave up just two runs over six innings, was a much-needed boost for a rotation battered by injuries. Meanwhile, the offense continues to flex its muscles with Ian Happ and Seiya Suzuki leading the charge, both key to revving up the lineup as the Cubs face the Brewers again tonight. Pete Crow-Armstrong's exclusion from the All-Star voting feels like a crime considering his stellar June performance, and the resurgence of Nico Hoerner and Dansby Swanson couldn’t come at a better time. The Cubs have shown grit, going 5-1 over the past week, but last night’s 6-2 loss to the Brewers casts a shadow as they seek consistency. With a run differential of +19 during this stretch, the Cubs are poised to keep the momentum going despite a rocky start to the series.
