The Cubs have shown a commendable resilience in their past games, which speaks volumes about their preparedness for future matchups. Their encounter with the Milwaukee Brewers on July 22 was a testament to their strategic prowess and ability to capitalize on opportunities. Securing a 3-1 victory over the Brewers, the Cubs demonstrated not just skill but also significant improvement in both offense and defense. With eight hits leading to three runs and maintaining a flawless defensive record with zero errors, it's clear that CHC is refining its approach.


Another notable performance came against the Arizona Diamondbacks on July 21 in an extra-inning thriller that saw CHC emerge victorious with a score of 2-1. Despite struggling offensively throughout most of the game, they showcased their tenacity by pushing through to secure wins late in games—a trait that will be crucial against CIN.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for CHC; they faced challenges against AZ once again on July 20 but couldn't muster any runs, culminating in a disappointing 0-3 loss. This particular game highlighted areas needing improvement if they aim to dominate future contests consistently.


The key takeaway from these encounters is CHC's evolving strategy and resilience under pressure—qualities that will serve them well against CIN. While past performances have had their ups and downs, there's an undeniable momentum building within this team. The focus now shifts towards harnessing this momentum effectively against CIN.

It’s essential for CHC to maintain tight defense while finding more consistency in hitting if they wish to outplay CIN at Great American Ball Park.
