Cubs Slump Deepens Amid Crow-Armstrong Spark

The Cubs are in freefall at home, dropping eight straight games at Wrigley Field — their 17th such streak since 1901, with the longest being 13 losses in 2021. Their record since 2021 has been worse than their 2015-2020 run, but there’s light at the end of the tunnel: Pete Crow-Armstrong is on fire with an eight-game hitting streak, slashing over .340 with power and RBIs. Meanwhile, ace Shōta Imanaga is struggling lately, giving up hits and runs — but he’ll face J.T. Ginn, the A’s best starter, who’s been solid but walks-heavy. Could patience at the plate be the key to turning this game around? Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
