The previous team to clinch a division with 16 or more games remaining in a season was the 2008 Angels they clinched the A.L. West with 17 games remaining. This marked the earliest clinch by a club in the N.L. Central Division since it was created in 1994 it surpasses the 2004 Cardinals, who clinched with 13 games left on their schedule.

Bryant leads the N.L. and is second in the majors with a 7.6 WAR (Mike Trout leads with an 8.2 mark) Bryant is on pace for 41 homers, 105 RBI and 126 runs scored. Bryant s 37 homers this season are tied for the most in the N.L. and are the most by a Cub since Aramis Ramirez hit 38 in LEADING THINGS OFF: Dexter Fowler on Tuesday night hit his seventh lead-off homer of the season, the most by a Cub in a single campaign since Alfonso Soriano hit a franchise record 12 lead-off bs in Fowler is hitting.396 (36-for-91) with 13 walks and two HBP in 106 plate appearances (.481 OBP) leading off a game this season.
