Cubs' Recent Performance


The Cubs have experienced a mixed bag of results in their recent games. Their pitching has shown variability, with a standout performance against the Padres where they allowed only one run over ten innings. However, inconsistencies were evident in another game where they conceded ten runs. The bullpen's performance has been particularly volatile, with an impressive zero earned run average in one game but struggling significantly in another.


Offensively, the Cubs have demonstrated potential with a batting average of .250 and .289 in two separate games against San Diego. They managed to produce multiple hits and extra-base hits but struggled with runners left on base, indicating room for improvement in clutch situations.
