Alex Bregman went absolutely bonkers against the Cardinals, crushing six doubles and driving in the go-ahead hit in the 10th to seal a 4-2 series win, finishing with 10 hits, 7 extra-base hits, and 7 runs. Javier Assad emerged as a bullpen lifeline, pitching 4.1 innings of one-run ball in his start and posting a 2.31 ERA since May 1. Pete Crow-Armstrong made history with his 20th double, becoming the first Cubs player since Ryne Sandberg to hit 20+ homers, doubles, and steals in back-to-back seasons — and he’s on pace for a 30-30-30. The Cubs also shattered their own franchise record for saves this year, with Aaron Civale earning his first and the team hitting 13 different pitchers with saves — one more than their 2021 mark. Manager Craig Counsell praised Jacob Webb for his clutch performances under pressure, as injuries forced the bullpen into uncharted roles.
