Chicago has regained a 1.0 game lead in the division with the help of Milwaukee s loss last night at the Dodgers the club began August tied for first place have been tied or in sole possession of first place entering August each year since The Cubs entered August either in first place or within a game of first in the division three-straight years in 2007 (second, -1.0), 2008 (first, +5.0) and 2009 (second, -0.5) prior to that, it hadn t happened since 1935 (second place, -0.5), 1936 (first, +1.0) and 1937 (first, +5.0) the team also turned the trick in 1906 (first, +6.0), 1907 (first, +10.5) and 1908 (second, -0.5). THAT WAS COLE: Cole Hamels struck out nine batters in 5.0 innings, allowing just an unearned run, as he collected the win in his Cubs debut last night Elias notes that his nine strikeouts are the fourth-most ever in a Cubs debut when allowing zero earned runs since earned runs became official in 1912 Quintana holds the record with 12 strikeouts and no runs in his debut last season, July 16 at Baltimore. GO ZO: Ben Zobrist enters tonight s game with a team-best.310 average (88-for-284), which ranks sixth in the National League he is batting.486 (17-for-35) with five walks and a.537 OBP in 11 games since the All-Star Break the.486 post-break average is tops in the N.L. among batters with at least 30 plate appearances.

Báez s 83 RBI lead the N.L. and are third in the majors behind Boston s J.D. Martinez (89) and Oakland s Khris Davis (84). BIRTHDAY BOY: Newly acquired right-handed pitcher Brandon Kintzler made his Cubs debut yesterday on his birthday he pitched 1.1- scoreless innings, allowing no runs became the first Cub to pitch on his birthday since Justin Grimm (ND) on August 16, 2016 (gm. 2). YOU COULD SAY BOTE BRINGS IT: David Bote is just the sixth Cub in the last 75 years to hit.340 or better (min. 50 AB) in his first 24 career major league games, and the first to do so since Kyle Schwarber (.342) in 2015 prior to Schwarber, Matt Murton (.340) did so in 2005, Dwight Smith (.357) did it in 1989, Andy Pafko (.357) did so in and Eddie Stanky (.351) did so in 1943 thanks STATS, Inc. WHAT S THE BUZZ?: The Cubs enter play with the N.L. s best record at (.579), 1.0 game ahead of Milwaukee (63-48/.568) the Cubs closed out July with a record, the team s eighth-consecutive winning month dating to June of last year the 2017 squad went in May. Chicago leads the majors with 34 come-from-behind victories this season Philadelphia and Boston are tied for second with 31 such wins overall the Cubs are when the opponent scores first. Chicago has four wins when trailing entering the ninth inning, tied for the most in the N.L. and second in the majors (Yankees, five). HE S, ONCE AGAIN, HEATING UP: Rizzo has homered in three of his last six games, including a solo shot Sunday night in St. Louis, and now stands 11 hits away from 1,000 for his career his 180 home runs with Chicago are 12th in franchise history Alfonso Soriano is 11th with 181 homers Rizzo s 180 blasts are third-most among Cubs left-handed batters, surpassed only by Billy Williams (392) and Bill Nicholson (205). In his last 28 games since June 28, Rizzo is hitting.313 (35-for-112) with an.887 OPS, walking 14 times compared to 15 strikeouts, and that includes an 0-for-19 stretch in four contests from July 7-11 and an 0-for-9 stretch in his last two games he moved to the leadoff spot in the lineup, July 13, and in 17 games since he is hitting.354 (23-for-65) with a OPS. WHAT S THE DIFFERENCE?: The Cubs lead the N.L. with a +105 run differential, as the Dodgers are second at +93 Chicago s mark is fourth overall in the majors as Houston (+185), Boston (+176) and the Yankees (+137) pace the A.L. THIS IS ENTIRELY OFFENSIVE: The Cubs lead the National League in runs (540), team batting average (.267), on-base percentage (.347) and OPS (.772) Chicago s 342 extra-base hits are fourth in the N.L. the Dodgers lead with 361. SOUTHPAW STARDOM: Cubs starters Cole Hamels and Jon Lester rank in the top three in career victories among active left-handed pitchers Lester, a five-time All-Star and three-time World Series champ, is second with 171 career victories while Hamels, a four-time All-Star and 2008 World Series MVP is third with 153 CC Sabathia leads active lefty pitchers with 243 wins. I FIND THESE INTRIGUING: Chicago has set its season high by homering in each of its last six games, the first time the club has done so in a single season since finishing last season with a home run in the final eight games starting Sept. 24. The Cubs have recorded a.990 fielding percentage (6 E/629 TC) in their last 17 games since July 13 that s the second-best mark in the N.L. in that span, trailing only Miami (.994). SECOND HALF SPLENDOR: In the last four seasons since 2015, the Cubs have amassed a record in the second half, and the team s.661 win percentage is by far the best in the baseball Cleveland is second with a.614 mark (143-90) in that span.
