Despite being held to just one run last night, Chicago ranks tied for fourth in the majors with 79 runs scored since the All-Star Break the only clubs to score more: Colorado (88), San Diego (83) and the Mets (81). Last night s setback snapped a nine-game road winning streak dating to July 2 at Cincinnati the road winning streak, along with the Cubs 11 home games in that span, meant that last night was the first time since July 1 that Chicago didn t pitch in the ninth inning. The homer for Báez was his 13th of the season, and he is just one shy of his career-high 14 blasts done last season he s hitting.382 (13-for-34) with two doubles, three homers, seven RBI and a OPS in his last 10 games. THE GAME OF RISP: Cubs pitching last night held the Brewers hitless in nine at-bats with runners in scoring position it s the third time this season Cubs pitching has held the opponent without a hit in at least nine at-bats with RISP (0-for-10, April 13 vs. LAD 0-for-11, June 19 vs. SD). In the Cubs last seven games since July 22, the pitching staff has allowed just one hit in 32 at-bats with RISP (.031) and none to a position player that lone hit came in the second inning on July 25 when White Sox pitcher Carlos Rodón delivered a two-run double. CENTRAL SPEAK: Despite last night s setback, the Cubs.558 winning percentage (24-19) against its N.L. Central Division opponents leads all the clubs within the division Cincinnati is second with a.528 mark (19-17) within the N.L. Central. Chicago enters tonight holding a 0.5-game lead over the Brewers in the N.L. Central Division, and has emerged from the All-Star Break with an 11-3 record (.786), the best mark in baseball the Dodgers lead at 11-2 (.846). This 11-3 run has helped the Cubs make up six games in the N.L. Central standings since the season s second half started over two weeks ago. THE NEXT BLASTS: Kris Bryant needs one more home run to become just the fourth Cub ever with three 20-homer seasons by his age 25 campaign or younger Bryant, who hit 26 homers in 2015 and 39 in 2016, would join Ron Santo (four times, ), Anthony Rizzo (three times, ) and Billy Williams (three times, ). Anthony Rizzo, who last evening hit his 24th homer of the season, needs one more long ball to become just the third Cubs left-handed hitter to record four 25-homer campaigns he would join Billy Williams (10 times from ) and Bill Nicholson (five times between ).
