[MyDaily = Reporter Shim Jae-hee] Chicago’s season has been a study in extremes. The Cubs rode two separate 10-game winning streaks and even climbed to No. 1 in MLB team power rankings. But those highs were followed by three- and four-game losing streaks, and now a nine-game slide has sent the club tumbling. The Chicago Cubs are in a steep fall.
On the 26th (Korean time), the Cubs fell 1-2 to the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in a 2026 regular-season road game. Held to one run, they absorbed the loss. Chicago battled to end the skid but came up short.
They’ve now lost nine straight. On the 17th they dropped a 3-8 road game to the White Sox, and on the 18th they fell 8-9 in Chicago. The Cubs then lost all three home games to the Milwaukee Brewers and followed that by dropping three straight at home to the Houston Astros, suffering six consecutive home defeats. The loss in Pittsburgh prolonged the losing streak.
◆ Cubs’ last 9 games
– 17th vs White Sox (away) L 3-8
– 18th vs White Sox (away) L 8-9
– 19th vs Milwaukee (home) L 3-9
– 20th vs Milwaukee (home) L 2-5
– 21st vs Milwaukee (home) L 0-5
– 23rd vs Houston (home) L 2-4
– 24th vs Houston (home) L 0-3
– 25th vs Houston (home) L 5-8
– 26th vs Pittsburgh (away) L 1-2
Chicago sits at 29-25 (0.537). The club once held the National League’s best record, but the recent slide has pushed them down to third place in the NL Central. They’re 3.5 games back of first-place Milwaukee (31-20, 0.608). And the bottom of the division is closing in: they’re only a half-game ahead of fourth-place Cincinnati (28-25, 0.528) and one game up on last-place Pittsburgh (28-26, 0.519). A loss in Pittsburgh on the 27th would extend the streak to 10 games and drop them further in the standings.
The pendulum has swung wildly since mid-April. After a 10-4 win at the Philadelphia Phillies on April 15, the Cubs rattled off a 10-game winning streak. A later three-game skid was followed by another 10-game run. But they then suffered a four-game slide, managed two wins, and have now tumbled into this nine-game rut. Stopping the bleeding has to be the immediate priority.
