The Cubs have just 12 regular season games remaining tonight is the sixth of a 10-game homestand the Brewers (1-3), the Reds (1-0) and the Cardinals (3 games starting Friday). 40 x 30: Anthony Rizzo night recorded his 40th double of the season to go along with his 30 homers he s the first left-handed hitter in Cubs history to record 40 doubles and 30 homers in a season, and just the fourth overall he joins Rogers Hornsby in 1929, Derrek Lee in 2005 and Alfonso Soriano in Rizzo is just the second left-handed hitter to record multiple 30-homer, 100-RBI seasons in franchise history Rizzo, who season had 31 homers and 101 RBI, joins Billy Williams, who turned the trick three times (1965, 1970 & 1972). Rizzo enters tonight s contest tied for fourth in the N.L. with 31 home runs while his 101 RBI are third in the Senior Circuit. FUN WITH NUMBERS: Jason Hammel evening became the fourth Cubs hurler to reach 15 wins and the fifth to toss at least innings this season this marks the first time Chicago has four 15-game winners in a season since 1935 (Larry French, Bill Lee, Charlie Root and Lon Warneke).

WHAT S IN AN AGE?: With 21 homers and 93 RBI on the season, Addison Russell is just the second Cub to reach the 20-homer mark in his age 22 season or younger joining Ron Santo (23 homers in age 21 campaign in 1961). Russell is the first shortstop to reach 93 RBI in his age 22 or younger season since Troy Tulowitzki did so at age 22 in 2007 with Colorado (99 RBI). Russell s 93 RBI lead all shortstops, one ahead of Houston s Carlos Correa. Russell is the first Cubs shortstop to reach 93 RBI since Ernie Banks logged 117 RBI in 1960 (156 games at shortstop that season).
