The Cubs ended their 10-game losing streak with a 10-4 demolition of the Pirates, fueled by a team-wide offensive explosion and Ian Happ’s clutch heroics. Happ broke the ice with a two-run single in the first and capped it with a three-run homer in the seventh, driving in five runs total. Manager Counsell called it a morale-saving win, while Happ stayed focused on the present, reminding everyone the team remains four games above .500. Meanwhile, Pirates ace Jameson Taillon added to his major-league-leading 19 homers allowed, acknowledging his fastball struggles. With momentum restored, the Cubs aim to keep rolling and prove this skid is truly behind them.

Jameson Taillon just hit a major milestone—10 years of MLB service time—against the Pirates, the team that drafted him in 2010. Through Tommy John surgery, cancer, and All-Star droughts, his gritty journey means everything. Meanwhile, Daniel Palencia struggles for saves, pitching in just 12 games with 3 holds this season, hampered by injury and limited save opportunities. On a league-wide front, the MLBPA unveiled its first CBA proposal: higher minimum salaries, anti-service-time manipulation rules, a luxury tax for under-spending teams, and increased revenue sharing to level the playing field. The union’s goal? Build a more competitive, rewarding game as the current deal expires December 1.
