And shoutout to Tyler Stephenson, who doubled in the 5th to bring in Spencer Steer, giving us a comforting 6-2 advantage. Our pitching held strong for the first half of the game, with solid performances keeping the Cubs at bay initially.Cubs' Strong Comeback
Unfortunately, things took a turn in the 7th inning. Pete Crow-Armstrong showcased an outstanding performance with two home runs and 6 RBIs that swung the momentum in favor of the Cubs. Our bullpen had a rough outing, and the Cubs capitalized on every opportunity, eventually pulling away with a decisive lead. Despite our efforts to rally in the latter innings, the deficit proved to be too much. The Cubs rode their offensive wave and added a few more runs thanks to a homer from Seiya Suzuki in the 8th and Dansby Swanson in the 9th.Looking Ahead
