Anthony Rizzo, who last evening hit his 24th homer of the season, needs one more long ball to become just the third Cubs lefthanded hitter to record four 25-homer campaigns he would join Billy Williams (10 times from 1961-72) and Bill Nicholson (five times between 1940-47).

Realmuto (.837). THERE S A WADE: With his save last night, Cubs closer Wade Davis has extended his single-season franchise record for consecutive save chances converted, as he s been successful in his first 21 opportunities this year that surpasses Flash Gordon in 2001, Ryan Dempster in 2005 and Carlos Marmol in 2012, all of whom had 19-straight successful save chances in a single campaign.
