Since making his debut on June 17 of last year, Contreras has produced an.815 OPS that s the third-highest of any N.L. catcher behind the Dodgers Yasmani Grandal (.854) and the Giants Buster Posey (.849). COMEBACK KIDS: Wednesday s 7-3 win over Tampa Bay marked Chicago s 10th victory after trailing entering the sixth inning those are tied for the most such wins this season with Boston and Houston.

FIRST THINGS FIRST: The Cubs have allowed 70 runs in the first inning this season, covering 85 games the Cubs allowed a total of 71 first-inning runs in their 161 games last year. IT S A START: This season, the Cubs are 29-14 when Cubs starting pitchers go at least 6.0 innings, including a 17-6 record the last 23 times it happened Chicago s starting pitchers have a 2.88 ERA (87 ER/272.0 IP) and a 23-10 overall individual record in those starts. PUTTIN ON THE RIZ: Anthony Rizzo, who has reached base safely in 26 of his last 28 starts, has a.427 on-base percentage in his last 54 games since May 7, the second-best mark in the N.L. in that span Cincinnati s Joey Votto leads in that span (.444). Since May 7, Rizzo has been on base 100 times, second-most in the N.L. Cincinnati s Joey Votto (107) leads in times on base during that span. Rizzo has struck out just 16 times in his last 186 plate appearances spanning his last 44 games since May 21 he has walked 29 times in that span and has posted a.430 on-base percentage and 1.063 OPS. THAT S EITHER HERE OR THERE: The Cubs are 23-18 at home compared to a 19-25 road mark this season Chicago started 4-6 at the Friendly Confines, but has gone 19-12 in its last 31 games at Wrigley Field since May 2 conversely, the Cubs began their road schedule by winning eight of their first 11 games through April 25, but have since gone just 11-22 away from home, a stretch that included their first nine-game road losing streak since 2012. IN A PINCH: Jon Jay is batting.345 (20-for-58) with a.415 on-base percentage in his last 21 games since June 14 his game-tying three-run homer on Wednesday was his third career pinch-homer, and the first pinch-homer by a Cub to either tie the game or give the team the lead in the sixth inning or later since Chris Denorfia hit a walk-off pinch-homer in the 11th inning to give Chicago the win, September 28, 2015 vs. the Kansas City Royals. Jay s 11 pinch-hits this season are tied for second-most in the majors with Milwaukee s Jesus Aguilar Miami s Ichiro Suzuki leads with 13 pinch-hits this season, although Jay s 11 hits have come in 28 at-bats while Ichiro s 13 hits have come in 53 at-bats. WHAT S HAPPENING?: Including a triple on Tuesday, Ian Happ s 24 extra-base hits (in 171 at-bats) rank fourth-most among N.L. rookies despite having nearly 100 fewer at-bats among the leaders the Dodgers Cody Bellinger leads (39 extra-base hits in 248 atbats), followed by the Padres Hunter Renfroe (35 in 310 AB) and the Pirates Josh Bell (33 in 288 AB). Happ on Sunday recorded his second career multi-homer game in just his 45th career game he joins Kyle Schwarber, Jorge Soler and Mandy Brooks as the only Cubs in the last 100 years to have two multi-homer games within their first 50 career games. BULLISH ABOUT THE PEN: The Cubs bullpen has posted a 3.32 ERA (109 ER/295.1 IP), a.217 batting average against and a.305 opponent OBP this year their average against is lowest in the N.L. while their ERA is second lowest and OBP against is third lowest. Carl Edwards Jr. has limited opponents to a.135 average (15-for-111), the best mark among N.L. relievers and third among all relievers behind Boston s Craig Kimbrel (.113) and Texas Keone Kela (.133). Wade Davis has converted his first 16 save chances this season and his last 22 dating to September of last year with the Royals. WHAT LIES AHEAD: Of the 77 games remaining, 40 are against N.L. Central foes, or 52 percent the Cubs are 21-15 against teams from the N.L. Central this season, a.583 winning percentage and the best record any N.L.
