Chicago Cubs News & Updates
The Chicago Cubs were 2-2, 4th in the NL Central. Yesterday, the Chicago Cubs topped the Los Angeles Angels 7-2 at Wrigley Field.
Small sample size at 4 games. A little of everything, not a lot of anything. A 5-run win last night helps the cause. Working against that, winning just 2 of 7 this week pulls the temperature down.

Cubs News
The Chicago Cubs are struggling to find their footing early in the season, sitting at 1-2 after a disappointing 3-6 loss to the Washington Nationals. With a run differential of -1 in their last three games, the pitching staff, allowing 6.0 runs per game, is leaking runs faster than the bats can keep up. All eyes will be on new addition Edward Cabrera as he makes his much-anticipated debut against the Los Angeles Angels tonight, a start that could define the Cubs' early season identity. Meanwhile, Alex Bregman is already showing his worth with two homers this weekend, leaving fans wondering how they missed out on Owen Caissie, who’s off to a scorching start with the Marlins. The pressure is mounting, and it’s time for the Cubs to step up.
