Cubs Struggle, Fall Seven Back | Detroit Tigers News

The Cubs took a brutal 5-1 loss to the Tigers, dropping the series and falling seven games behind in the NL Central after the Brewers clinched their win. Seiya Suzuki’s 17th homer gave them a brief lead, but that was the only run — and only four hits — the offense managed. Conforto and Swanson struggled with strikeouts, while Colin Rea took the loss, surrendering four earned runs including two homers — one a fluke, the other a big swing. The Cubs’ pitching continues to give up too many homers, ranking near the top of the league. Now on a critical road trip against the Pirates — including a showdown between Imanaga and Skenes — the Cubs must rally fast if they hope to stay alive in the division race.
