The Cubs had an okay week and remained solidly in first place in the NL Central.
The Cubs were 4-3 over the week ending Sunday, losing two of three in Philadelphia and winning three of four against the Pirates at Wrigley Field.
Two of the three losses were in extra innings and with a bit of luck, one or both of those games could have gone into the win column.
The Cubs’ next test is trying to figure out why they are having so much trouble scoring runs at...

It was not pretty, but the Cubs took care of business with a 3-2 win.
Had these last 13 games occurred in a different order, say reversed, I’m not sure that the Cubs wouldn’t have lost seven or even more. The Cubs didn’t play great during this stretch. To be clear, they didn’t play badly either. I’ve got the score over 13 games at 47-36 combined. Using a pythagorean expectation calculator, that’s an expected eight wins. So it feels...

Just ahead of the Red Sox start time, it was announced that the Red Sox and Giants had agreed on a blockbuster trade that would send Rafael Devers to San Francisco. In return, the Giants agreed to pay his whole contract, but also sent four players back to the Red...

The Cubs once again didn’t get much offense... but just enough to win.
One day, Cubs hits will ring out all over Wrigley Field. One day, Cubs home runs will fly one after one into the iconic Wrigley bleachers. One day, the Cubs will win a home game by seven or eight or nine runs.
Today was not that day.
It was, though, a good day in the end, as Ian Happ’s walkoff single in the 10th inning gave the Cubs a 3-2 win over the Pirates, and they took the...

The offense stays stalled, but pitching carries the Cubs to a 2-1 win.
Yet again, the Cubs offense struggled. For the first time this year, this team is not really rising to challenges. They are struggling day after day. But, they won again Saturday. One can simultaneously accept the win and that they did just enough while also recognizing that this team just isn’t giving itself any margin for error. And yet, 13 straight games, six of them against two of the best...
The Chicago Cubs starting rotation has taken it on the chin so far in this 2025 campaign. They lost lefty ace Justin Steele for the season in early April due to elbow injury.
After relying on a powerful offense for most of the season, the Chicago Cubs hope their success on the mound continues on Sunday afternoon. Chicago will aim for a series win against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates in the final meeting of a four-game set.
Ben Brown’s latest performance highlighted the need the Chicago Cubs have with their starting rotation before the trade deadline on July 31. He gave up six earned runs in Chicago’s 7-2 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday.

The #1 source for #Cubs, #MLB, and #MiLB news and notes. Cubs win by one and move to win three of four. Let’s get some runs.
The going is weird. Cub Tracks™ turned pro a long time ago. Cub Tracks™. Where the great ones run away.
Baseball is more fun when you’re winning. I couldn’t decide which track I liked better. Enjoy.
Reports are that the Cubs are signing another lefty with MLB time.
Cubs win by one and go for three-quarters of the series today at 1:20...
