The Cubs ended their 11-game losing streak Wednesday night at Wrigley Field - could this be the start of a hot stretch for the team? The schedule is certainly in their favor.

Tony Andracki and Andy Martinez dissect the win, put the 11-game losing streak into perspective and dive into the next few weeks that will dictate the future of the franchise.

Is Jed Hoyer's mind already made up on what path his front office should take at the deadline? What has to happen for the Cubs to get back into the race and become buyers? If they do become sellers, who goes at the deadline?

Plus, injury updates and what does the future hold for Jake Arrieta, Justin Steele and Keegan Thompson?

The Cubs made history Thursday night in LA with the franchise's first combined no-hitter. Elise Menaker was on the ground in LA for all the festivities and joined the Cubs Weekly Podcast to discuss the momentous occasion with Andy Martinez and Tony Andracki.

The panel breaks down the highlights from the combined no-no, including the relievers pitching without realizing what was going on, Willson Contreras' involvement and an interview with Craig Kimbrel right after the game.

We also hear from Champ Pederson, Joc's older brother, on receiving his World Series ring before Thursday's game and what that moment meant to him.

Plus, our panel zooms out on a difficult month of June for the Cubs and how the team has been able to stay afloat in the playoff race despite facing elite opponents and enduring grueling road trips.

In today's episode, we're celebrating making it to our 10th episode by inviting two guests! 1st we go into the music world with an interview with our buddy Blake AKA Sum Wyrds and in the 2nd half, we do a deep dive into the upcoming Bears draft with our Bears writer, Eric B.
