Cubs winning streak ends, now the real work begins. McGrawDHSports Cubs
The eight-game streak began after they were shut down by St. Louis left-hander Steven Matz at Wrigley Field on July 20. Matz did it again Sunday, working 6 innings of the Cardinals' 3-0 victory.
There is bigger news on the horizon. The MLB trade deadline hits at 5 p.m. Tuesday. A couple weeks ago, the Cubs seemed ready to deal Marcus Stroman, Cody Bellinger and anyone else that wasn't nailed down. But after the eight-game win streak, trade watch has shifted to incoming mode. Now the Cubs might be trying to bring in an extra bat or bullpen arm to help their playoff chances.
"I think the mental lift will come in the next couple days when it's over," Hendricks said of the trade deadline."It's been talked about for a long time. As much as you try and block it out, to not have to get these questions in another couple days; just questions about how the team's doing. It will be much easier to tune out the noise after another two days."
