Summary
The Cubs snagged a crucial breathing room in the NL Wild Card race after a brutal loss to the Braves — but it was the Phillies, Padres, and Diamondbacks who stumbled, handing Chicago a one-and-a-half-game lead with just ten games left. Despite a recent six-loss skid, Pete Crow-Armstrong’s hot bat keeps them alive, while Shelby Miller’s season-ending elbow injury is a major blow. Their next few weeks feature manageable matchups before the tough Red Sox road trip — if they survive this stretch, they’ll make their second straight playoff appearance.
