The Cubs are reeling, seven and a half games back in the division after losing their last nine series, including a nail-biting extra-innings defeat to the Giants.

Alex Bregman, batting just over .200 with a low slugging percentage, admits he’s in a slump but vows to fight back—knowing the team needs him to break through and spark consistency if they’re to salvage their season.
