Cubs Bullpen Stalls Then Saves | Chicago Cubs News

The Cubs bullpen’s shaky stretch just got a boost with Edward Cabrera back from a month-long finger blister, but it was the guys already in the pen who delivered Saturday’s clutch comeback win — four runs in the eighth, no hits, all momentum. Despite Trent Thornton going down with an ankle sprain, the bullpen held strong through ten outs to beat the Pirates 4-3, putting them half a game ahead of the Phillies for the top wild-card spot with just thirteen games left. Relievers know the pressure — one bad inning can feel like everything’s falling apart — but this win hints at a turning point as they claw back from a rough late-August ERA and blown saves.
