Cubs on Fire Against Dodgers | Chicago Cubs News

The Cubs are on fire, poised to sweep the Dodgers after a dominant pitching performance and a clutch seventh-inning rally. Javier Assad shut down LA for most of the game, while the offense clicked seamlessly—despite not even having their trade deadline upgrades fully integrated. With Pete Crow-Armstrong resting in center but stepping in as DH, and Tyrone Taylor taking over outfield duties, the lineup is flexible and lethal. A potential platoon in left between Happ and Taylor could add more firepower against lefties, while rookie Pedro Ramírez sits out after a rough stretch. Meanwhile, the Dodgers scramble with lineup tweaks: Edman climbs the order, Tucker swaps with Betts, and Rojas/Feduccia anchor third and catcher. This isn’t just a good team—it’s a contender ready to make noise. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
