The six-run frame was the Cubs biggest ninth-inning outburst since June 16, 2015 at Cleveland when the club scored seven runs to close out a 17-0 victory against the Indians. With a victory tonight or tomorrow, the Cubs would win a series on the road for the first time in more than six weeks when they took two of three games here in Pittsburgh April 24-26. In fact, the Cubs began the season by winning their first four series on the road they have since lost six series in row starting with their three-game set in Boston April 28-30. At 33-33, the Cubs have nestled upon the.500 mark for the 14th time this season by way of various circuitous routes the Cubs were also 1-1, 2-2, 6-6, 7-7, 16-16, 17-17, 18-18, 19-19, 25-25, 27-27, 30-30, 31-31 and 32-32 the Cubs have not been more than four games over.500 or two games under.500 at any point this season the Cubs are one of only six teams in the National League with a record at or above.500. This road trip began a stretch in which the Cubs play 17 of 20 games on the road through July 2, as the Cubs will play six series in a row in six different ballparks (at New York, at Pittsburgh, vs. San Diego, at Miami, at Washington and at Cincinnati) last Sunday ended a stretch in which the Cubs played 19 of 25 games at Wrigley Field. THAT S EITHER HERE OR THERE: The Cubs are 20-15 at home compared to a 13-18 road mark this season Chicago started 4-6 at the Friendly Confines, but has gone 16-9 in its last 25 games at Wrigley Field since May 2 conversely, the Cubs began their road schedule by winning eight of their first 11 games through April 25, but have since gone just 5-15 away from home, a stretch that included their first ninegame road losing streak since 2012. At the plate, Chicago is batting.243 (284-for-1,170) in 35 home games, 14 points higher than its.229 average (245-for-1,069) in 31 road games the team is averaging 4.91 runs per game at home and 4.55 runs on the road Chicago has a 4.14 home ERA (151 ER/328.0 IP) and a 4.30 road ERA (127 ER/266.0 IP). PUTTIN ON THE RIZ: Anthony Rizzo last night extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a two-run single in the ninth inning it is his second double-digit streak of the year, as he posted a 12-game run from April 10-22 including a first-inning walk, he has now reached base safely in 24 of his last 46 plate appearances. Rizzo has posted a.436 on-base percentage in his last 35 games since May 7, the best second-mark in the N.L. in that span (San Francisco s Buster Posey leads with a.443 OBP).

Schugel. Contreras became the first N.L. player to homer on his first career pitch seen since Pittsburgh s Starling Marte, July 26, 2012 vs. Houston he was the first Cub to homer in his first career plate appearance while at Wrigley Field since Cuno Barragan, Sept. 1, 1961 vs. the Giants. A LOOK THROUGH 66: The Cubs are at.500 through 66 games at 33-33, a 13-game offset from their rarely-seen 46-20 start through 66 games a season ago the 2015 Cubs were 36-30, only three games off from this year, through 66 games en route to their 97-win campaign, while the 2014 Cubs started off 27-39 through 66 contests. Last season, the Cubs posted 47 quality starts through their first 66 games with a 2.32 ERA from their starting pitchers overall this year, the Cubs have basically half as many with 24 quality starts through 66 games with a 4.69 ERA from their starting pitchers, more than double their mark from a season ago. The Cubs bullpen has a 3.49 team ERA, 32 holds and 17 saves through 66 games this year last year through 66 games, the bullpen had a 3.36 team ERA, 31 holds and 13 saves. At the plate, the Cubs have a collective.325 on-base percentage and.415 slugging percentage, good for a.740 team OPS through 66 games last year, the Cubs had a collective.350 on-base percentage and a.427 slugging percentage, good for a.777 team OPS. Defensively, the Cubs last year had a.984 team fielding percentage through 66 games in 2016, committing 40 errors this year, the Cubs have a.983 team fielding percentage through 66 games, committing 44 errors.

Carl Edwards Jr. has limited opponents to a.116 average (10-for-86), the best mark among N.L. relievers and second among all relievers (Boston s Craig Kimbrel,.078). Wade Davis has converted his first 13 save chances this season and his last 19 dating to September of last year with the Royals. FIRST THINGS FIRST: Anthony Rizzo has batted leadoff this week for the first time in his career on Tuesday and Wednesday, he became the first Cub since at least 1920 to hit a home run to lead off a game in each of his first two career games batting leadoff overall, Rizzo is the first player with a leadoff home run in each of his first two career leadoff starts since Arizona s Didi Gregorius on June 4 and 6, 2014.
