## Resource

The Cubs are in a slump, dropping their first game in seven series and eight of nine, with a losing road record adding pressure—but there’s a flicker of hope: they’ve gone .500 in road openers after winning the final game of a series. Facing a brutal Giants home record, their odds look grim, but Pete Crow-Armstrong’s 15-game on-base streak is lighting up the offense. Tonight, Javier Assad, who dominated the Giants in relief, gets the start—can he carry that fire into a full game and turn the tide?
