Episode Details

David Peterson has emerged as a surprise ace for the Cubs, delivering dominant starts despite injuries sidelining other pitchers. In his recent outing against the Yankees, he tossed six innings, allowed just two runs, and struck out eight — tying his season high. Over his last four starts, he’s posted a stellar 1.52 ERA while consistently going five or more innings. Peterson credits his success to refining old mechanics, especially lower-body usage, which has eased arm strain and improved control. Meanwhile, the Cubs’ offense roared back in the seventh with clutch hits from Nico Hoerner, Pete Crow-Armstrong, and Seiya Suzuki. On the injury front, Edward Cabrera is progressing in rehab, throwing over 40 pitches for Triple-A Iowa without incident, with his next start set for Wednesday.
