## Resource

The Chicago Cubs head to Atlanta after dropping their weekend series to the Texas Rangers in Arlington. After opening the series with a strong 7-1 win, the Cubs' offense went cold in the final two games, getting shut out on back-to-back days as the Rangers stormed back to take the series. On Sunday, Jacob deGrom turned back the clock, striking out 10 Cubs hitters over seven dominant innings in a 3-0 Texas victory. Despite another solid outing from Jameson Taillon, the Cubs managed just three hits and were unable to solve deGrom as their first series loss in nearly a month became official. Even with the setback, the Cubs remain one of baseball’s hottest teams and still sit atop the NL Central with a 27-14 record. A tough weekend in Texas, but there’s no reason to panic. Can the Cubs bounce back and get the bats going again in Atlanta? 312 SPORTS PRO SHOP: https://bit.ly/4e7bqyv The Best Replacement Windows And Doors At The Best Price.
