OUR BÁE: Javier Báez on Thursday night vs. the Reds belted his 27th homer of the campaign he s just the fourth Cubs middle infielder to reach the 27-homer mark, joining Rogers Hornsby in 1929, Ernie Banks (seven times from 1955-61) and Ryne Sandberg (twice in 1989-90) thanks to Ed Hartig. Báez is already just the third different Cub in franchise history to reach 30 doubles, five triples, 25 homers and 15 stolen bases in a single season, joining Ryne Sandberg (1985 and 1992) and Alfonso Soriano (2007) thanks to Christopher Kamka. Báez s 94 RBI lead the N.L. lead and are third-most in the majors (Boston s J.D. Martinez leads, 110) Báez also ranks at or near the top in several offensive categories, as seen on the left side of this page. ABOUT THE BATS: The Cubs have plated 18 runs in the last three games after a five-game stretch in which the team scored one run or less in each contest, tying the franchise record previously set May 19-23, 2009 in fact, the Cubs scored exactly one run in five games in a row for only the second time in franchise history the Cubs also turned this trick from August 27-September 1, 1934, when the club turned in a 2-3 record. Chicago has homered in a season-high nine-straight games dating to August 15 vs. Milwaukee, hitting 14 homers during this run (10 solo shots, three two-run homers and one three-run shot) Chicago last homered in at least nine-straight games during an 11-game streak, Sept. 24, 2017-March 31 of this season. COMFORTS OF HOME: Chicago s.635 home winning percentage (40-23) ranks second in the N.L. behind the Phillies (41-22,.651) and fourth-best in the majors Boston (46-18,.719) and the Yankees (45-20,.692) pace the majors. The Cubs entered this homestand unbeaten in their last 12 home series starting May 25 with a three-game set vs. the Giants, going 9-0-3 in that span this started following a season-high four-game home skid, May 13-23, against the White Sox (0-1), Atlanta (0-1) and Cleveland (0-2). THREE OF A KIND: Anthony Rizzo homered in three-straight games, August 21-23, the sixth time he s turned the trick in his career he went deep in a career-best four-straight games, July 29-August 1, 2015. With 21 homers this season, Rizzo has reached the 20-homer mark six-straight years beginning in 2013 he s one of just 10 Cubs ever to record at least six 20-homer campaigns, and just the third left-handed hitter, joining Billy Williams (13 20-homer seasons) and Bill Nicholson (six). LEFT IS RIGHT: Cole Hamels on Thursday made the 68th start by a left-handed pitcher for the Cubs this season, already surpassing the 66 starts made by Cubs southpaws a season ago only three times in franchise history have the Cubs had more than 68 games started by left-handed pitchers in a single season: 1961 (69 starts), 2007 (85 starts) and 1966 (89 starts) thanks to Ed Hartig. 20/20 VISION: Javier Báez has 21 stolen bases to go along with his 27 home runs (including his homer Thursday) he is the first Cub to record a 20/20 season since outfielder Corey Patterson had 24 homers and 32 stolen bases in 2004 Báez is the first Cub middle infielder to turn the trick since Ryne Sandberg had 26 homers and 22 stolen bases in 1991 Javy is now one of six players in franchise history to post a 20/20 campaign. Báez is one of only four players (and the only N.L. er) in all of baseball to reach 20 homers and 20 stolen bases already this season, joining Boston s Mookie Betts, Cleveland s Jose Ramirez and Los Angeles Mike Trout.
