## Resource

The Reds end a brutal homestand with a crushing 8-4 loss to the Cubs, capped by Andrew Abbott’s shaky outing and a team’s inability to hold leads. Manager Francona raged over fourth-inning collapse, while players like Steer admitted frustration. Abbott, though battling and showing improvement over his last 14 starts, still struggled with counts and bad luck. The team now sits nine games under .500, especially bad against division foes — but the All-Star break offers a chance to reset and rebound before the second half.
