Cubs’ Collapse vs Diamondbacks | Chicago Cubs News

The Cubs’ playoff push hit a bump after a heartbreaker against the Diamondbacks, blowing a four-run lead with a five-run eighth inning collapse and losing 5-4 on a walk-off homer. Despite the loss, they didn’t fall behind in the division thanks to the Brewers’ own stumble. On the bright side, Clay Holmes dominated for seven innings, lowering his ERA to 2.26 and proving he’s the ace this team needs. Offensively, Ian Happ delivered a clutch three-run homer, but sloppy baserunning cost them the game. The real concern? Daniel Palencia’s shaky outing in the eighth, which may shake up bullpen roles heading into October. They’ve got a chance to rebound today in the rubber match before facing the Reds — time to regroup and find a way to win when it matters most.
