The Chicago Cubs continue to surge, clinching a series win over the New York Mets with another impressive performance in this four-game set. While Pete Crow-Armstrong stayed hot at the plate and Nico Hoerner starred on both offense and defense, this doubleheader was all about Dansby Swanson, who delivered a massive day and may have officially put his slump behind him. Shota Imanaga battled through five innings in a solid outing, and Pedro Ramirez continued to make his presence felt as the Cubs kept finding ways to win. Join CHGO Cubs hosts Joey Christopoulos and Justin Roman as they break down Swanson's breakout performance, Hoerner's all-around impact, PCA's continued rise, and why the Cubs are building momentum with one game still left in the series against the Mets.
