## Resource

The Cubs’ hot streak hit a wall over the weekend as they blew a 5-0 lead against the Blue Jays, lost 8-6 after a shaky bullpen, and saw Sunday’s game postponed—missing a showdown between Imanaga and Cease. Despite the sour ending, bright spots include Pete Crow-Armstrong’s scorching June (.400+, 1 HR/game, improved walk rate) and a promising rotation ahead, with Imanaga, Cabrera, and Assad set to pitch, while Boyd nears a return. The Cubs remain atop their division after 10 straight wins, even as they brace for a tougher stretch against division leaders like the Brewers.
