Summary
The Cubs’ offense went silent again, scoring just one run on Seiya Suzuki’s solo homer, while striking out 12 times. Ian Happ had a solid day with hits, a walk, and a stellar defensive play. Colin Rea gave up a damaging three-run homer but bounced back with key strikeouts and limited the damage to one run. The bullpen stepped up, tossing four innings with seven strikeouts, despite surrendering a run on an RBI double. With the trade deadline looming, whispers swirl around potential pitching acquisitions like Robbie Ray and Emerson Hancock, while Pete Crow-Armstrong’s breakout season and plate discipline comparisons to Anthony Rizzo add fuel to the Cubs’ offseason fire.
