Heading into the All-Star break, the Cubs have fully demonstrated the ability to weather storms and injuries.

On Sunday, they did it again, rallying for their 27th comeback win, led by one of their leaders they’ll be leaning on in the second half. Alex Bregman unloaded a three-run homer in the seventh to break open a one-run game and power the Cubs past the Reds, 8-4, on Sunday in the final game of the first half at Great American Ball Park. Bregman, who had the game-winning two-run shot in Saturday’s 5-3 win, finished 3-for-5 with four RBIs in the finale.

Feel like our whole rotation's gone down, and our closer. So I feel like it kind of builds a certain kind of toughness into a group, and it's a good thing.” Cubs manager Craig Counsell added: “It’s a great way to finish the half, and I think \[Bregman\
