## Resource

Colin Rea delivered a gem on the mound for the Cubs, pitching six strong innings and allowing just one earned run as the offense exploded for ten runs—shut down the Cardinals and pushed them below .500. With injuries decimating their rotation all season, this win was a lifeline, fueled by a scorching offense that’s hit over 10 runs in three straight games since the All-Star break. The Cubs’ balanced attack—Rea on the hill, bats lighting up—showed exactly why they’re dangerous when both sides click. But with Taillon’s future uncertain and bullpen needs looming, the front office is already eyeing big moves, like a potential trade for Tarik Skubal, to keep building this team for the stretch run.
