## Resource

The Cubs are in a slump after a stunning April run, going just 5-23 since, but they’ve been surprisingly strong on the road against the A’s — 10-2 in Oakland and Sacramento. Back home, they lost the opener of this series again, mirroring past struggles. Bright spots include Pete Crow-Armstrong’s火热 seven-game hitting streak, batting over .350. And while the team’s on a rough patch, history reminds us that even in tough times, moments like Ken Holtzman’s 55-year-old no-hitter still echo. Tonight’s pitching duel: Colin Rea vs. Jeffrey Springs — with Rea’s key challenge being to contain Brent Rooker. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
