Description

Carson Kelly blasted two home runs, but the Chicago Cubs couldn’t hold on and lost to the Washington Nationals, dropping the series. Colin Rea delivered a strong start on the mound, while Seiya Suzuki, Matt Shaw and Dansby Swanson all came through to fuel the offense and defense. But Daniel Palencia blew the game late as the bullpen faltered again, raising more questions about the Cubs’ closer role. The CHGO Cubs Podcast crew breaks down Kelly’s big day, Palencia’s struggles, and what this loss means as Craig Counsell’s team looks ahead. Join Luke Stuckmeyer and Kevin Wells for all the postgame stats, analysis, and reaction!
