## Resource

Alex Bregman’s slump may be over after borrowing Dansby Swanson’s bigger bat—leading to a career-high seven hits in two games, including a home run. The switch, paired with a new stance that keeps his hands back, seems to have fixed his swing and silenced the pop-ups. With the Cubs already a potent offense, Bregman’s hot streak could be the spark they need to finish strong. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
