"Edward Cabrera struck out seven Padres last night en route to his third win of the season, and more importantly, he didn't issue a single base on balls."
"The icing on the cake was a home run by Pete Crow-Armstrong, his second of the season, predicted just seconds earlier by announcer Rick Sutcliffe."
"The club announced that Riley Martin will miss at least eight weeks with a flexor strain, the same injury that will sideline Justin Steele for, optimistically, the same amount of time."
"Some of the diehard Brewers fans up here are calling the injuries fake, saying that Counsell is saving everybody for the stretch run."
The Cubs defeated the Padres 8-3, ending a three-game losing streak. Edward Cabrera achieved his third win with seven strikeouts and no walks. Pete Crow-Armstrong hit a 400-foot home run, contributing to the victory and marking Craig Counsell's 900th career win. However, the team faces challenges with injuries, as Riley Martin and Justin Steele are sidelined for at least eight weeks. Speculation arises among fans regarding the legitimacy of these injuries, questioning the team's strategy for the postseason.
