Cubs Power Through Heartbreak | Chicago Cubs News

The Cubs endured a rollercoaster weekend—heartbreak on Friday with a walk-off single, then a gut-wrenching loss on Saturday after a walk-off homer snatched victory away. Sunday’s game looked like a blowout until shaky pitching turned it tense. David Peterson shined with six strong innings, while Shōta Imanaga’s shortest start ever (just two innings) was saved by Aaron Civale and the bullpen. Offensively, they exploded for 23 runs—19 in Sunday’s win—with Ian Happ and Pedro Ramirez smashing grand slams. Seiya Suzuki, Tyrone Taylor, and Pete Crow-Armstrong also delivered big hits. With playoff rotation uncertainty lingering, the offense is firing on all cylinders, led by clutch performances from Alex Bregman. Despite mounting pressure from other teams closing in on the wild card spot, the Cubs remain in contention—and key injury updates offer hope as the postseason looms.
