Summary
Seiya Suzuki and Pete Crow-Armstrong both blasted home runs in a thrilling 10-inning loss to the A’s, but the Cubs’ season woes continue as they’ve lost eight straight at home and can’t seem to win a series since May. Manager Craig Counsell blames poor execution, not just bad luck, as the team battles through a slump that’s dampened their momentum after a strong start. Even with Ian Happ hitting his 1,000th career hit, the pressure mounts. But there’s still hope — with 100 games left, they face the NL’s worst teams in the Giants and Rockies, offering a chance to turn things around. The Cubs are staying positive, focusing on better execution and supporting their pitching, determined to salvage their season. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
