Cubs bullpen struggles amid recent losses on the road trip

The Chicago Cubs experienced difficulties during a road trip to Seattle and Arizona, losing both series. They currently hold a two-game lead for the top wild card spot but remain 6.5 games behind the Brewers in the National League Central. The bullpen's inability to secure late-game leads has been a key issue, highlighted by recent walk-off losses. The Cubs will need to improve their record of 4-6 in their last 10 games as they approach the final 28 games of the season.
