Summary
The Cubs clawed their way to a hard-fought series win against the Reds before the All-Star break, a much-needed reprieve after a brutal first half marred by injuries and exhaustion. With just one player, Pete Crow-Armstrong, heading to the All-Star Game, the team’s focus now turns to recovery and reset. Manager Craig Counsell kept things afloat despite constant roster upheaval, but the strain is real. This break isn’t just downtime—it’s a chance to recharge, especially for the pitching staff. With the Brewers on fire, the Cubs need to prove this was survival, not decline, and come roaring back in the second half to challenge for the NL Central title.
