Cubs' Offense Shines, Pitching Falters Again | Chicago Cubs News

The Cubs’ offense looked electric early, storming ahead with five runs in the first two innings thanks to Pete Crow-Armstrong’s walk and Alex Bregman’s two-run homer — then another two-run blast to extend their lead to 5-3. But the pitching couldn’t hold it: David Peterson unraveled in the fourth, handing the Brewers a 6-5 lead, and the bullpen followed suit with costly runs in the seventh and ninth. Despite Webb taking a line drive off his arm (no serious injury), the Cubs fell 9-5 after a strong start against Jacob Misiorowski. With seven losses in their last 29 games, they need to find a way to close out games if they want any shot at a postseason push — and they’ll try to split the series today.
