The Cubs (2–4) split their four-game set with the Diamondbacks after a bullpen meltdown in Sunday’s finale cost them a series victory. Chicago had some positives in Arizona despite the relief issues, including decent starting pitching and a pair of home runs from new addition Kyle Tucker. Next up is a trip to Sacramento to battle the Athletics in their temporary minor-league digs starting Monday.
The A’s (2–2) are in transition mode on and off the field in 2025, leaving Oakland on a journey that will eventually end in Las Vegas with a multi-year layover at the home of the Giants’ Triple-A team.
