## Resource

Chicago Cubs, reeling from an eight-game losing streak, head to Pittsburgh hoping to snap their slump against a Pirates team riding a solid home stretch and fourth-best ERA in the NL. Despite the Cubs’ power-hitting prowess — sixth in homers — both squads are struggling offensively, with the Cubs at 2-8 in their last 10 and Pirates at 4-6. Injuries hit both sides hard, especially for the Cubs, who’ve lost key pitchers to elbow issues. This divisional showdown could be pivotal for Chicago’s playoff hopes.
