Cubs snap nine-game skid, but David Ross knows there’s a lot of work to do

Manager David Ross plans to hit the reset button before a Friday morning workout in Philadelphia.

The four-day All-Star break will allow the Cubs to physically heal, but Ross is determined to remind his players of the improvements and corrections they must execute in the second half.

Ross can use dependable shortstop Nico Hoerner as a prime example for overcoming mistakes.

After missing the tag on Francisco Lindor during a rundown that scored a run in the first inning, Hoerner provided the ultimate redemption by hitting a tie-breaking single to score Willson Contreras with two out in the eighth inning to give the Cubs a 3-2 win Sunday over the Mets and snap a nine-game losing streak.
