## Resource

The Cubs are in San Francisco looking to snap a slump, having narrowly avoided a sweep in Colorado and now clinging to third place in the division. While the team’s offense has been underwhelming—struggling with power and failing to capitalize on good pitches—their bright spots are undeniable: Pete Crow-Armstrong is on fire with a hot streak, power, and a Player of the Week award, while rookie Ben Brown has emerged as a standout pitcher with a stellar ERA and strikeout numbers. But with the Giants looming, the Cubs need more than individual brilliance—they need a team-wide offensive resurgence to turn their season around.
