Disappointing Loss at Wrigley
Well, Cubs fans, it's not the result we were hoping for today at Wrigley Field as the Cubs fell to the Texas Rangers, 6-2. The game started with Corey Seager of the Rangers smacking an early homer to left-center, setting a rather grim tone for the rest of the game. Despite our best efforts, we couldn't catch up.
It was one of those games where the hits just didn't align for us.Cubs Struggle to Score
Our lineup had a tough time against the Rangers’ pitchers. Seiya Suzuki gave us a spark in the 4th with a triple, which Michael Busch followed up nicely with an RBI single to bring Suzuki home and tie the game at 1-1!
But that was where the magic ended for a while, as the Cubs bats went mostly silent until the 9th inning when Suzuki brought home Ian Happ for our second and final run. It was an encouraging sign from Suzuki, but unfortunately, it wasn't enough. Rangers Keep Their Lead
The Rangers found a way to extend their lead in the 5th with a crucial homer by Jonah Heim, which was a real momentum killer for us. They didn’t stop there; despite some solid plays from our guys, the Rangers capitalized on their hitting opportunities—Seager struck again with another homer in the 7th. Our bullpen had tough challenges today, but both Pearson and Morgan had good moments, managing some seamless innings.Looking Ahead
Our beloved Cubbies will have to regroup and bring their A-game for the next matchup. Let's show them that Chicago spirit and continue to support our team through thick and thin. We have a talented roster, and a brighter day is definitely ahead. Go Cubs!
