## Resource

The Cubs crumbled in a 5-1 loss to the Cardinals, their offense going cold and defense unraveling—leaving them fifth in the NL Central and clinging to the wild card race. Jordan Wicks’ brutal start (3 ER in 2 IP, ERA now 15.83) and costly errors sealed the fate, while Bregman’s lone homer couldn’t carry the team. Time to regroup fast—or risk missing the postseason entirely. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
