Cubs Heat Up Against Cardinals | St. Louis Cardinals News

The Cubs are on fire, surging back from a brutal slump with a 15-4 tear since June 11, climbing the standings and closing in on the division-leading Brewers. This weekend’s three-game showdown against the Cardinals is pivotal — Chicago holds a 3-game edge for second place, and a win could solidify their position. Offense is exploding, leading MLB in runs over the last two weeks, but pitching remains the wild card — with key injuries and new arms stepping up, including a second start for one of their fresh faces. Friday’s David Peterson, Saturday’s Shota Imanaga, and Sunday’s Javier Assad will face a Cardinals lineup that’s no slouch — this series could define their playoff push.
