Cubs End Skid, Face Skenes at Wrigley | Pittsburgh Pirates News

The Cubs roar back with a 12-2 demolition of the Pirates, snapping a four-game skid and climbing to 82-66. Alex Bregman lights it up with a HR and 2 RBIs, while the team’s historic low strikeout total (just 2) proves their offensive efficiency. Clay Holmes, though shaky in his last start, takes the mound today against Paul Skenes — who’s been stellar lately — as the Pirates, riding a 7-3 win streak, look to keep momentum alive. Oddsmakers favor the Cubs slightly (-126), but the Pirates’ recent surge makes this a tight, high-stakes showdown at Wrigley.
