Episode Details

Pete Crow-Armstrong is crushing left-handed pitching like never before, hitting .286 against them — a career-high that’s fueled the Cubs’ second-best OPS against southpaws. Manager Craig Counsell credits a simple tweak: Crow-Armstrong’s new stance closer to the plate, giving him more time to react and swing smarter. The 24-year-old’s breakout season just got a major boost — he’s NL Player of the Month after 11 homers and 20 RBIs in June. He’s still finding his stride, and the Cubs are riding his momentum, including a gritty win over the Cardinals thanks to key errors and timely offense. Meanwhile, pitcher Jameson Taillon’s rehab is going strong — he tossed three solid innings in a minor league game, allowing just one run, inching closer to returning to the big league rotation.
