Addison St., Chicago, IL Washington Nationals (19-9) vs. Chicago Cubs (21-6) Information 2016 Chicago Cubs Media Relations Office May 6, 2016 Wrigley Field Game No. 28 Home Game No. 12 RHP Max Scherzer (3-1, 3.55) vs. RHP John Lackey (3-1, 4.32) JUST ZO GOOD: The Chicago Cubs, a season-high 15 games over.500 and winners of four-straight games, today play the second of four games against the Washington Nationals after winning last night s series opener, 5-2 Ben Zobrist drove in four runs, including an eventual game-winning two-run single in the fourth and a two-run homer in the eighth Kyle Hendricks spun 6.0 shutout innings while Tommy La Stella added three hits and scored twice. The Cubs, at 21-6 (.778), and the Nationals, 19-9 (.679), own the two best records in baseball. Chicago has played just 11 home games thus far, tied for the fewest in the majors with Cleveland and Detroit however, this the team is in the midst of the first of two 10-game homestands within roughly three weeks as the Cubs from April 26-June 5 play 24 of 36 games at the Friendly Confines. Following the Nationals series, the Cubs will host the San Diego Padres (3 games, starting Monday) and the Pirates (3 games, beginning May 13). EARLY RETURNS: At 21-6, the Cubs are off to their best start through 27 games since the team was 23-4 to start the 1907 campaign (23-5 through 28 games) this is the best start to a season by a N.L. club since the 1986 New York Mets started 21-6 (and 21-7 through 28) this is the best start for any major league team since the 2003 New York Yankees began 21-6 (22-6 through 28) thanks to STATS Inc.

Chicago s staggering +70 run differential (110-40) in 16 road games this season would still lead all major league teams overall this season. The Cubs have averaged 6.07 runs per game thus far, the highest in all of baseball St. Louis is second, having averaged 5.59 runs per contest. NO SUCH STREAKS: Chicago has yet to lose consecutive games this season according to Elias, it s the deepest the Cubs have gone in a season without losing consecutive games since 1907 that team did not suffer consecutive setbacks until its 34th and 35th games of the season, May The last club to avoid losing consecutive games longer than the Cubs to begin a season was the 1999 Atlanta Braves, who first suffered consecutive losses in the 30th and 31st games of that season thanks to STATS Inc.

HIS FIRST 50: The Cubs have gone in Kyle Hendricks first 50 career starts for the team that s the Cubs best record in a pitcher s first 50 starts for the team since going in Hank Borowy s first 50 outings from : Jake Arrieta on Tuesday improved to 6-0 in six starts this season, becoming the first Cub to win his first six starts to a season since 1908, when Mordecai Brown won each of his first 11 starts to begin the campaign thanks to Ed Hartig. SIMPLY ELITE: The Cubs have now won Jake Arrieta s last 19 starts, extending a franchise record that surpassed 17-straight by Ed Reulbach ( ) and Pat Luby ( ) thanks to Elias. Jake is 22-1 with a 0.85 ERA (18 ER/190.0 IP) with just 39 walks and 184 strikeouts in his last 26 starts since June 21 of last year, which is the best 26-start stretch in franchise history he is now 17-0 with a 0.55 ERA (8 ER/131.1 IP) in 18 starts since August 1 of last season. Jake s 17 consecutive winning decisions are tied for fourth-most in MLB history since 1913 with Johnny Allen ( ), Dave McNally ( ), Johan Santana ( ) and Jose Contreras (2005) only three others have had longer streaks: Carl Hubbell (24-straight winning decisions in ), Roy Face (22 in ) and Roger Clemens (20 in ). AT THE TOP OF THE ORDER: Dexter Fowler s streak of reaching safely to start six-straight games was snapped last evening with a strikeout, looking he joins Alfonso Soriano (6 games, May 13-18, 2008), Mel Hall (6 games, June 5-11, 1983) and Richie Ashburn (7 games, June 28-July 4, 1960) as the only other Cubs players since at least 1946 to lead off six-straight games by reaching base (thanks to STATS Inc. and Ed Hartig). Overall, Fowler has a N.L.-best.520 OBP when leading off a game (min. 10 PA), reaching base in 13-of-25 contests. Fowler s OPS from the top spot leads N.L. leadoff hitters (min. 65 plate appearances), and is second in the majors (Jose Altuve, 1.104) Fowler s.457 on-base percentage leads all leadoff hitters, and his.574 slugging percentage is second (Altuve,.687).

Zobrist, thanks to three RBI Wednesday in Pittsburgh and four RBI last night vs. Washington, has driven in at least three runs in consecutive games for just the second time in his major league career (thanks to Elias) he first turned the trick with three RBI against the Twins, April 27, 2011, then knocked in a career-high eight runs the next day against Minnesota. In 10 relief appearances, Justin Grimm has walked none, struck out 12 and limited the opponent to a.182 average (6-for-33). WALK THIS WAY: Cubs batters lead the majors with 141 walks, 23 ahead of the Pittsburgh Pirates at the same time, Cubs pitchers have issued the second-fewest walks in the National League, allowing just 70 free passes the Mets have allowed 64 walks. The Cubs have three players in the top-12 in the N.L. in walks as Dexter Fowler and Anthony Rizzo rank tied for fourth with 20 free passes apiece and Ben Zobrist s 18 walks rank tied for ninth. IN THE LAST 90 : In their last 90 games starting July 29, 2015, a period which represents over half of a full season, the Cubs have posted a record, good for a.733 winning percentage and a mark if projected over a full 162-game campaign this is by far the best record of any team in baseball since July 29, 2015 Toronto is the closest team, at 58-33, 8.5 games behind the Cubs.
