4/26/25 | Cubs' Craig Counsell says starter needs to be 'better'. The Chicago Cubs saw their three-game win streak come to an end on Saturday, as they fell prey to the Philadelphia Phillies in the second of a three-game series at Wrigley Field. The 10-4 loss to the Phillies can be largely blamed for the horrible start of Ben Brown on the mound. Brown got pounded by the Phillies for six runs on nine hits in only 3.2 innings of work. Brown was solid on the hill for the Cubs against his Philly in the first three innings, holding the visitors scoreless over that stretch and ended his time on the mound with six strikeouts.
