Cubs Rollercoaster: Win Then Lose Fast | MLB News

The Cubs had a wild week—smashing the Padres 23-3, then getting crushed 17-1 by the Cardinals. After a hot start with two 10-game winning streaks and a 15-game cushion over .500, they hit a slump, then bounced back to 10 games over .500 but still six behind the Brewers. Dansby Swanson lit up with 3 homers and 8 RBIs, while Padres catcher Rodolfo Duran pitched the last two innings and gave up 8 runs. On Friday, David Peterson surrendered 10 earned runs in under four innings. Despite Alex Bregman’s quiet season, the Cubs’ offense is strong, led by Pete Crow-Armstrong’s 19 homers, 23 steals, and .910 OPS. They’re also leading the majors with 10 walk-off wins—though they’ve also lost two big ones this week. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
