Summary
The Cubs blew a 3-0 lead against the Braves thanks to two late homers and a collapse after the fourth inning, exposing their shaky bullpen and pitching staff — a glaring weakness as they head into a crucial stretch. Manager Counsell demands more consistency from his arms, especially with playoff pressure mounting. While Justin Steele’s return and Edward Cabrera’s debut offer glimmers of hope, the rotation remains one of the NL’s weakest links. If they don’t turn it around fast, October could be brutal.
