Cubs’ Ben Brown makes case for All-Star selection in Philadelphia

Cubs pitcher Ben Brown has emerged as a strong All-Star candidate this summer, boasting a 1.85 ERA and 2.50 FIP over 68 innings. His effectiveness has increased significantly after incorporating a sinker, leading to improved outcomes in his starts. As the Cubs rest their bullpen due to recent rainouts, Brown's performance becomes pivotal for the team's success as they approach the All-Star break. The team hopes to capitalize on his contributions as they face the Mets in their upcoming series.
