Overall, Cubs starting pitchers have not endured a loss since July 30, a stretch of 17 straight outings, their longest stretch without a loss since going 20 games from August 30 Sept. 19, 2015 thanks to Elias. WHAT S THE DIFFERENCE?: Chicago s +208 run differential is by far the highest in the majors Washington is second at +144, 64 runs behind the Cubs the Cubs have allowed the fewest runs in the majors (410) while plating 618 runs, third most in the majors behind Boston (669) and Colorado (647).

Bryant also is just the fifth Cub ever to reach 30 homers in his age 24 season, joining Banks, Ron Santo (1964), Sammy Sosa (1993) and Anthony Rizzo (2014).
