Cubs Struggle to Score Against Twins | Chicago Cubs News
Description
The Cubs’ second-half opener against the Twins ended in heartbreak despite solid pitching from Colin Rea, who threw six strong innings. The offense struggled mightily, managing just six hits and failing to capitalize on key opportunities, including a rare walk and run from Pete Crow-Armstrong. Twins’ Bailey Ober held them in check, and Dansby Swanson’s scary face injury added insult to injury. Manager Craig Counsell kept things efficient with just four pitchers, matching the Twins’ usage. With two more games this weekend, the Cubs still have a shot to turn things around — especially as they race to keep pace with the Brewers, who seized momentum after the break. Rea’s performance was encouraging, but now the bats must step up if they want to salvage the series and the season.
