Yankees Clinch 32nd Winning Season Against Cubs

The Chicago Cubs faced offensive struggles against the New York Yankees, resulting in a series loss, with the Yankees winning two games 2-0 and one game 2-1. Jameson Taillon's strong performance on Sunday, pitching six innings, helped the Cubs salvage a win and avoid a sweep, but their overall hitting was lackluster, scoring only three runs in their last five games. Clarke Schmidt and Nestor Cortes led the Yankees to consecutive shutouts, marking the Yankees' 32nd straight winning season, the second-longest streak in MLB history. Despite their recent scoring woes, Cubs players expressed confidence in their ability to compete for a playoff spot. The Cubs now prepare to face the Los Angeles Dodgers in a crucial series as they aim to improve their postseason chances.
