Cubs Batting Hot, Bullpen Struggling

Pete Crow-Armstrong is heating up like a furnace, batting over .500 with four homers and seven RBIs, including a cycle and a 23-game on-base streak—All-Star locks don’t get much hotter. Dansby Swanson and Carson Kelly added fire with homers, steals, and a six-RBI grand slam. But the bullpen’s meltdown—high ERA, blown leads—threatens to derail the momentum. Alex Bregman’s power drought and Edward Cabrera’s shaky return add to the concerns. Still, three wins out of five keep the Cubs alive—but if the pitching doesn’t snap out of it, the magic might fade.
