## Resource

The Cubs just got obliterated 17-1 by the Cardinals — the worst loss of the season, following a 15-run win, making them the second team ever to swing that wildly in back-to-back games. Fans are living the rollercoaster: one moment contenders, next moment rebuilding mode. But there’s a glimmer: veteran lefty Drew Pomeranz, signed in June after being cut by the Angels, made his return in the ninth, retiring the side in 11 pitches. He’s got a history of strong outings — a 2.17 ERA last year and solid years with the Padres — and while this game was already lost, his performance was a hopeful sign for a pitching staff in need.
