## Resource

The Cubs are in a slump, just two games over .500 and out of wild card contention, thanks to a barrage of starting pitcher injuries — including Edward Cabrera’s sudden exit with a right hand cramp. Despite a bright spot with Pete Crow-Armstrong hitting his 14th leadoff homer in a row (his seventh in June), the offense couldn’t sustain momentum. A controversial call kept runners stranded, and after Cabrera left, the Rockies capitalized, loading the bases and scoring twice. Manager Counsell raged at the team’s inability to cash in with runners in scoring position — a game they felt they should’ve won. Up next: Javier Assad takes the mound hoping for a turnaround.
