The win was sealed by a stellar bullpen performance, with Trent Thornton earning his third save of the year and manager Craig Counsell praising his poise under pressure. Earlier, Seiya Suzuki, Carson Kelly, and Ian Happ sparked the offense, setting the stage for Bregman’s game-winning blast. Thornton, embracing his new closer role, emphasized team wins over individual stats. With the first half winding down, the Cubs are focused on finishing strong before the unpredictable second half begins.
