Chicago entered the All-Star Break with a 5.5-game deficit to the Brewers, but have gained 10.5 games over Milwaukee since then the Cubs currently hold a season-high 5.0-game edge over both the Brewers and Cardinals. The Cubs are 45-23 (.662) in September/October since Joe Maddon took the reins prior to the 2015 season, the best winning percentage in the majors in that span (Cleveland is second at 43-25/.632). FIRST THINGS FIRST: The Cubs have spent each of the last 44 days atop the N.L. Central since waking up in first place on July 27 they have been in sole possession of first place for 43 of those days. WHAT LIES AHEAD: Of the 22 games remaining for the Cubs this season, 14 are against teams with a record above.500 and eight are against sub-.500 clubs last night in Pittsburgh concluded a stretch of 24-games in a row in which the Cubs played clubs with a sub-.500 mark the Cubs tonight play their first team with a winning record since August 13 when they return home to host Milwaukee. Starting tonight, the Cubs play 17 of their final 22 games against N.L. Central division foes, or 77 percent of them the Cubs are 35-24 vs. the N.L. Central, a.593 winning percentage, by far the best intra-divisional record of any N.L. Central team (the Reds are second with a 31-30 mark against the N.L. Central). PLATING RUNS AT A RAPID RATE: Starting August 1, the Cubs have averaged 6.1 runs per game (220 runs in 36 games), nearly 1.5 runs better than the team s 4.7 runs per contest in the first four months (484 runs in 104 games). The Cubs have scored 704 runs this season, third-most in the N.L. behind Washington (730 runs) and Colorado (714 runs). The Cubs lead the N.L. and rank second in the majors with a +88 run differential since the Break, trailing only Cleveland (+125). 30 2B, 30 HR, 100 RBI: Anthony Rizzo last weekend hit a three-run triple in the fourth inning to give him 100 RBI on the season and reach 30 doubles, 30 homers and 100 RBI for the third-straight campaign, this year doing so before Labor Day he s only the fourth Cub ever to reach those thresholds in at least three seasons, joining Hack Wilson (4 times, 1927-30), Billy Williams (3 times, 1965, 1970, 1972) and Sammy Sosa (3 times, 1997, 2000-01) Rizzo and Wilson are the lone Cubs to do so in at least three-straight seasons. GLOVE LOVE: Anthony Rizzo enters tonight with a career-high 118-game errorless streak at first base dating to April 25 that s the longest errorless streak by a Cubs first baseman since Hall of Famer Ernie Banks had a 126-game errorless run at first base spanning the final 114 games of the 1969 season and the first 12 games of 1970 thanks to Ed Hartig for his research assistance. 20-HOMER CLUB: The Cubs have set a franchise mark with six players with at least 20 homers as Ian Happ last week joined Kris Bryant, Willson Contreras, Anthony Rizzo, Kyle Schwarber and Javier Báez the club previously had five players with at least 20 homers in 1958, 2004 and 2008. Additionally, the Cubs have set a major league record with five 20-homer seasons by players in their age 25 or younger season (Báez, Bryant, Contreras, Happ, Schwarber) this surpasses the 2007 Brewers and 1979 Expos (four apiece). 29 AND COUNTING: Cubs closer Wade Davis on Wednesday extended his franchise record as he converted his 29th-consecutive save opportunity to remain perfect in save chances this season he has surpassed previous record holder Ryan Dempster, who converted 26-straight opportunities from August 2, 2005-May 1, 2006. Dating to September 3 of last season, Davis has locked down 35-straight save opportunities, now the longest active streak in the majors as Baltimore s Zach Britton last month snapped his stretch of 60-consecutive save chances converted.
