The Chicago Cubs are in a demanding phase of their season, playing 26 games over 27 days, with a series against the Washington Nationals starting the stretch. Despite a strong pitching performance from Matthew Boyd, who threw 7 1/3 innings and allowed only two runs, the Cubs lost 2-0, marking their third shutout of the season. Boyd's consistent performance, especially after returning from Tommy John surgery, has been vital for the Cubs, especially as other starters are sidelined. Meanwhile, the White Sox face the Kansas City Royals, where they appear to struggle against a familiar opponent.
