In a series finale won 4-1 by the Brewers at Wrigley Field, the Cubs' big bats let them down again. Imagine that.

The Cubs make a statement against the Brewers, the Phillies batter the Mariners again, the Rockies beat down Shohei Ohtani and more from Wednesday's MLB action.

Since June 25, Cubs starters have a 3.02 ERA, best in baseball. The next closest staff, the Boston Red Sox, is at 3.31. These pitchers aren’t elite at getting groundballs or strikeouts. But they limit walks and hard contact and have an entire defense that helps them limit damage.

The Chicago Cubs superstar was asked why he continuously obscured news of a hand fracture during a brutal slump.
