This is Chicago s second (0-1) of eight-straight games against teams in their own division, the N.L. Central. The Cubs fell to the Marlins on Sunday, 6-0, prior to a 1-0 setback in Cincinnati on Monday Chicago has been shut out in consecutive games for the first time since May 26-27 of last season at the Dodgers Chicago was last blanked in three-straight games during a four-game stretch, April 27-May 1, 1992, at Atlanta (three games) and at Cincinnati (one game). The Cubs have combined to score 18 runs in their two victories, but just one run total in their three setbacks. Chicago, 2-3 on the young season, finds itself below.500 for the first time since sitting at 44-45 through play on July 14 of last season prior to 2017, the team was previously under.500 through three games in 2015 (1-2). PENMANSHIP: The Cubs bullpen has thrown 26.0 innings in the first five games to begin the season, posting a major league-best 0.69 ERA (2 ER/26.0 IP) while limiting the opponent to a.185 average (17-for-92) and a.478 OPS Chicago s 26.0 innings from its bullpen are sixth-most in the majors Miami s relievers lead with 35.1 innings while the Angels are second (30.1). The last time the Cubs bullpen had a lower ERA through its first five games in a season was 1990 that bullpen spun 17.0 shutout frames through their first five games, April 10-14 (and posted a 0.44 ERA through six games). The bullpen opened this year with a 15.2-scoreless innings streak through the 16th inning of Friday s contest that is the longest scoreless innings streak by the Cubs bullpen to begin a campaign since 1990, when the relief corps strung together 20.0-scoreless thanks to Elias Sports Bureau. RISPY BUSINESS: The Cubs had four hits in 16 at-bats with runners in scoring position Saturday in Miami, but have collected just three hits in 35 at-bats (.086) with RISP in their four other games, combined. All told, Chicago has batted.137 (7-for-51) with runners in scoring position on the young season.

TOUGH LUCK: Tyler Chatwood on Monday allowed one run in 6.0 innings in a 1-0 setback in Cincinnati he s the first starting pitcher to hold the opponent to one or fewer runs in at least 6.0 innings, but get saddled with the loss in his Cubs debut, since Dallas Beeler on June 28, 2014 vs. Washington (gm. 1). Beeler, that day making his major league debut, allowed an unearned run in 6.0 innings in a 3-0 defeat. UPCOMING MILESTONES: Kris Bryant enters tonight looking for his 500th career hit while Anthony Rizzo is three hits shy of 900 and four doubles shy of 100 Ben Zobrist is eight hits away from 1,400 José Quintana is 10 strikeouts shy of 1,000 for his career. Bryant has amassed his 499 hits in 462 career games with a hit tonight, he d be the quickest player to start his major league career with the Cubs and reach the 500-hit mark since Starlin Castro did so in 421 games on Sept. 7, 2012 (Elias Sports Bureau). EARLY RETURNS: Kris Bryant is hitting.333 (7-for-21) with four runs, three doubles, a homer, four RBI and five walks to begin the season, reaching safely in each contest. Bryant recorded a double in each of his first three games to start the season he s the first Cub to turn the trick since Moises Alou doubled in each of his first three games to begin the 2003 campaign. Bryant on Friday night went 3-for-6 and belted his first homer of the year, a go ahead solo shot in the third the blast came in his sixth at-bat of the season, by far the quickest he s gone deep to start a campaign. Bryant last season first homered in his 40th at-bat in his 11th game played in 2016, his first blast came on his 32nd at-bat in his eighth game while his first homer in his N.L. Rookie of the Year 2015 season came in his 40th at-bat in his 11th game played. FREQUENT FLIER MILES: The Cubs are in the midst of a stretch that began two Sundays ago in which they will travel over 3,600 miles before playing a game in Chicago March 25, this sojourn started with a roughly 1,975-mile trip from Phoenix to Ft. Myers for two exhibition games at the Red Sox Spring Training home. Chicago then bused from Ft. Myers to Miami for that four-game series, and last Sunday night flew about 1,125 miles up to Cincinnati for two games the Cubs on Tuesday night headed about 250 miles to Chicago for an off day yesterday before this morning busing up to Milwaukee for four games (92 miles) the trek ends when the Cubs head back to Chicago for their April 9 home opener vs. Pittsburgh. While the Cubs have to endure this long travel stretch to begin the season, the team will actually travel the fifth-fewest miles among MLB teams in 2018 (24,032 miles) Cincinnati has the fewest to travel (20,738) while the Mariners have the longest way to go (40, 783) credit to baseballsavant.com.

Since the start of the 2015 season, Chicago leads the majors with 140 road victories and a.567 road winning percentage (140-107). BUSY BODIES: Since the start of the 2015 campaign, the Cubs have played 527 games between the regular season (491) and postseason (36), the most of any big league club (Dodgers are second with 524 combined games and the Astros are third with 517).
