Chicago Cubs

Jordan Wicks allowed three runs on four hits with one strikeout in two innings as the Cubs dropped a 5-1 decision to the Cardinals on Sunday night.

Fantasy Impact: Wicks made his second start of the season on Sunday and allowed three consecutive hits to start the game as the Cardinals scored a pair of first-inning runs. Wicks did retire six straight batters after the first three reached, but allowed a leadoff single in the third to end his night. It's been a rough time for the southpaw as he is 0-2 with a 15.63 ERA in two starts this season. Wicks has allowed 11 runs on 13 hits in 6.1 innings, but does have a 6:1 K:BB ratio. He is tentatively scheduled to start on Saturday against the Giants, but may not be needed if Edward Cabrera (finger) doesn't need an extended stay on the IL.

Alex Bregman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run on Sunday night as the Cubs suffered a 5-1 loss to the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact: Bregman took Hunter Dobbins deep with one out in the sixth for his fifth home run of the season. It was his first home run since May 12 and just his third since hitting a pair of home runs in the third game of the season on March 29. Bregman did, however, extend his hitting streak to 11 consecutive games, batting .304 (14-for-46) with two doubles, a homer, and two RBI during the stretch. His first season in Chicago has not gotten off to a blazing start as he is hitting .259 with five home runs and just 18 RBI in 59 games.
