FLEXING HIS MUSCLES: Anthony Rizzo enters today s contest tied for sixth in the N.L. with 29 home runs while his 97 RBI are tied for third in the Senior Circuit. Rizzo, who season finished with 31 homers and 101 RBI, looks to become just the second left handed Cubs hitter with multiple 30 homer, 100 RBI seasons in franchise history Billy Williams turned the trick three times (34 HR, 108 RBI in 196; 42 HR, 129 RBI in 1970; 37 HR, 122 RBI in 1972).

Bryant leads the N.L. and is second in the majors with a 7.3 WAR (Mike Trout leads with an 8.2 mark) Bryant is on pace for 43 homers, 107 RBI and 130 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 THE PEN IS MIGHTIER: Chicago s bullpen has a 1.62 ERA (10 ER/.2 IP) dating to August 24, and has held the opponent to a.168 average (33 for 196) and a.488 OPS in that stretch Justin Grimm owns a 0.42 ERA (1 ER/21.2 IP) in his 26 relief appearances since June 28 that ranks second among N.L. relievers in that span, trailing only Milwaukee s Tyler Thornburg (0.33 ERA). Since joining the Cubs on July 26, Aroldis Chapman s 13 saves are tied for fourth most in the majors, one behind the Mariners Edwin Diaz, the Rangers Sam Dyson and the Dodgers Kenley Jansen. ADDISON MUSCLE: Addison Russell leads all National League shortstops with 88 RBI this season and trails only Houston s Carlos Correa (90 RBI) for most RBI by a shortstop in the majors overall, Addison is on pace for 22 homers and 101 RBI this year. Russell is the first Cubs shortstop to reach 88 RBI since Ernie Banks logged 117 RBI in 1960 (16 games at shortstop that season). Russell s 88 RBI are the most by a Cubs player in their age 22 or younger season since Vic Saier drove in 92 runs in 1913 at age 22.
