After two tough losses to the Minnesota Twins, the Chicago Cubs rebounded decisively with an 8-1 win, showcasing their resilience and offensive power. The Cubs recorded 14 hits, including six extra-base hits, and significantly improved their performance with runners in scoring position. Pete Crow-Armstrong led the charge with two home runs, marking his fifth multi-homer game of the season. Meanwhile, Colin Rea delivered a stellar seven-inning performance, only allowing one earned run, underscoring his reliability in the rotation.
