Cubs struggle in series finale against Giants after three-game win streak
Summary

The Chicago Cubs faced a setback in their series finale against the San Francisco Giants, losing 5-1 at Oracle Park on June 14. This defeat ended a promising three-game win streak for the Cubs, who have been trying to regain form after a challenging stretch this season. Despite strong performances from Pete Crow-Armstrong and Michael Busch throughout the series, the team failed to capitalize on opportunities against Giants' ace Logan Webb. Seiya Suzuki, who returned from a knee injury, was a late scratch in the final game, adding to the team's difficulties. The Cubs remain focused on improving as they continue their June schedule, particularly as they face teams with lower winning percentages.
