Ben Zobrist drove in two runs despite not recording a hit, becoming the second Cub this season to accomplish the feat (Kyle Schwarber, April 14 vs. Atlanta). The Cubs remain 1.0 game up on Milwaukee in the N.L. Central, which is remarkably the biggest lead of any N.L. division the Phillies lead the Braves by.5 games in the East, while the Diamondbacks and Dodgers are tied out West. Q FOR QUALITY: José Quintana yesterday recorded his 10th quality start of the season, tied for the team lead with Jon Lester and Kyle Hendricks he also reached 10 wins for the third-straight season and joins teammate Jon Lester and Atlanta s Sean Newcomb as the only lefties in the N.L. to reach 10 wins this season. Quintana has gone 3-0 with a 2.55 ERA (7 ER/24.2 IP) in his last four home starts. DON T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I M FEELING 23: Javier Báez yesterday connected on his 23rd homer of the season, tying his career-high from last season he has already set career-high marks in doubles (29), triples (7), RBI (84) and stolen bases (19) he is nearing career-highs with 69 runs scored (75 in 2017) and 119 hits (128 in 2017). Báez s 84 RBI lead the N.L. and are tied for second-most in the majors, trailing only Boston s J.D. Martinez (90) he also ranks at or near the top in a bunch of offensive categories, as seen on the left side of this page. KYLE HENDR17KS: Today s starter, Kyle Hendricks, last pitched Sunday at St. Louis, retiring his final 17 batters faced in the Cubs 5-2 victory fanned a season-high tying eight batters for the third time in his last five games, a stretch in which he has gone 2-1 with a 3.00 ERA (10 ER/30.0 IP) with 31 strikeouts, compared to only four walks. Hendricks has been stellar following the All-Star Break since 2016, going 13-5 with a N.L.-best 2.13 ERA (44 ER/186.0 IP) only Justin Verlander (1.91) has a better ERA across baseball after the All-Star Break since AN AVERAGE OFFENSE: The Cubs lead the National League with a.266 team batting average, just ahead of Atlanta (.259) and Cincinnati (.257) among N.L. players with at least 90 games played, Ben Zobrist ranks sixth with a.307 average, Albert Almora Jr. ranks eighth with a.300 mark and Javier Báez ranks 10th with a.299 average. The Cubs lead the National League in runs (546), on-base percentage (.345) and OPS (.769) Chicago s 345 extra-base hits are fourth in the N.L. the Dodgers lead with 374. WHEN LEFT IS RIGHT: The Cubs have started a southpaw in four-straight games for the first time since September 21-23, 1966 at Wrigley Field vs. the Reds (Ken Holtzman, Dave Dowling) and Dodgers (Curt Simmons, Dick Ellsworth) the streak is unlikely to continue today unless Kyle Hendricks learns to throw lefty very quickly thanks to Ed Hartig for his research assistance.
