Summary
The Chicago Cubs are riding a wild rollercoaster this season—crushing the Padres 23-3, then getting obliterated by the Cardinals 17-1. They’re the second team in MLB history to swing from a 15+ run win to a 15+ run loss, joining the 1894 Boston Beaneaters. Add in two 10-game winning streaks followed by a 10-game skid (only the 2017 Dodgers had a similar pattern), and you’ve got a team that’s both historically erratic and still clinging to second place in the NL Central, just 5.5 games behind the Brewers. Their latest meltdown featured rookie pitcher David Peterson surrendering a career-high 10 earned runs—though they avoided a shutout thanks to a double from Alex Bregman.
