Despite the sour ending, bright spots include Pete Crow-Armstrong’s scorching June (.400+, 1 HR/game, improved walk rate) and a promising rotation ahead, with Imanaga, Cabrera, and Assad set to pitch, while Boyd nears a return. The Cubs remain atop their division after 10 straight wins, even as they brace for a tougher stretch against division leaders like the Brewers.
