Pete Crow-Armstrong and Seiya Suzuki both crushed home runs, while Colin Rea delivered a strong start on the mound, but none of it was enough as the Cubs bullpen and defense failed to finish the job. Even Ian Happ&#8217;s hustle-filled 1,000th career hit was overshadowed by another frustrating defeat for a team that continues to struggle to execute in big moments. Join Luke Stuckmeyer, Joey Christopoulos, and Justin Roman as they break down the blown lead, the Cubs&#8217; mounting problems, and why this disappointing series loss raises even more questions about the direction of the season on the CHGO Cubs Postgame Podcast.<\/p>\n<p>00:00 Start<br \/>\n02:00 Cubs continue to streak<br \/>\n12:00 Dansby Swanson<br \/>\n20:30 Perspective &#038; White Sox<br \/>\n25:00 Jared Wyllys joins live from Wrigley Field<br \/>\n29:50 Alex Bregman<br \/>\n31:40 Dansby Swanson<br \/>\n33:30 Nick Kurtz<br \/>\n42:00 Craig Counsell<br \/>\n52:30 Shota Imanaga <\/p>\n<p>An ALLCITY Network Production<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcec Chicago sports in your inbox: https:\/\/allchgo.com\/newsletter<\/p>\n<p>BUY MERCH:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/store.allcitynetwork.com\/collections\/chgo-locker\">CHGO Locker<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>FOLLOW ON SOCIAL:<br \/>\nTwitter: @CHGO_Sports<br \/>\nInstagram: @CHGO_Sports <\/p>\n<p>Limited Time Offer \u2013 Get Huel today with my exclusive offer of 15% OFF online orders of $50 or more with my code cubs15 at  https:\/\/www.huel.com\/cubs15 .
