Last night s loss snapped Chicago s run of 11-straight regular season wins dating to last year and a run of 12-straight road wins, which matched the longest road winning streak by the franchise since at least 1913 the 1945 Cubs squad also tallied a 12-game road winning streak. The Cubs were also the first club to win 12-straight regular season road contests since the 2013 Dodgers won 15-straight road games from July 7-August 5. After tomorrow s series finale, the Cubs return to Chicago for their home opener on Monday night against the Cincinnati Reds, the start of a six-game homestand that features three games against the Reds (April 11, 13-14) and Colorado Rockies (April 15-17). LET S GET IT ON: Dexter Fowler reached base safely three more times last night and has now been on base in 13 of his 19 plate appearances, good for a.684 on-base percentage the.684 on-base percentage is by far the best in the National League, well ahead of the Dodgers Yasiel Puig s next-closest mark of.591 Fowler also entered Saturday tied for the major league lead with six runs scored. THIS IS ENTIRELY OFFENSIVE: The Cubs have outscored their opponents this season by 21 runs, 31-10, tied for the fourth-largest run differential through four games in franchise history, and the second-largest spread in modern history the 2016 Cubs trail only the 1876 club (+26, 40-14), the 1929 club (+24, 31-7) and the 1885 club (+23, 34-11) the 1879 club also enjoyed a +21 through four games (33-12). The Cubs have averaged 7.75 runs per game thus far, a full run better than the next closest team (New York Yankees, 6.75). IT S DECISION TIME: Kyle Hendricks makes his 2016 season debut, beginning his second-straight year as a member of the Cubs rotation Hendricks went 8-7 despite a 3.95 ERA (79 ER/180.0 IP) in 32 starts, his first full season in the big leagues. Hendricks led the majors and set a single-season franchise record with 17 nodecisions last year, surpassing the mark of 16 previously set by Dennis Lamp in 1980.

RIZZO SET THE MARK: Anthony Rizzo Thursday matched his career high with six RBI and now has a major-league leading nine RBI through three games this season Rizzo is the first player in franchise history to record nine RBI within the club s first three games Dee Fondy previously held the Cubs record with eight RBI in the club s first three games in 1955 thanks to Ed Hartig. START ME UP: Cubs starting pitchers Jake Arrieta, Jon Lester and John Lackey each earned a victory in the Cubs first three games of the season this marked the first time the club s first three starting pitchers each earned the win in the team s first three games since 1958, when Jim Brosnan, Glen Hobbie and Dick Drott turned the trick. CUBS IN THE DESERT: This has been Chicago s earliest visit by calendar date to Chase Field since opening the 2005 campaign here with three games, April 4-6 (Cubs won on Opening Day then dropped the next two games) after winning seven of 10 games at Chase Field from July 23, 2008-April 30, 2011, the Cubs are just 5-14 in their last 19 contests here. The Cubs have homered at least once in seven of their last eight games at Chase Field, and in 16 of their last 18 here since June 22, 2012. WHAT S IN AN AGE?: Cubs starting shortstop Addison Russell, at 22 years and 77 days old, is the third-youngest player in the N.L. and the seventh-youngest currently in the majors Toronto s Roberto Osuna, 21 years and 62 days old, is the youngest player in the majors while Colorado s Miguel Castro is the youngest in the N.L. at 21 years and 107 days thanks to Allan Spear at STATS Inc. With Kris Bryant, Addison Russell, Kyle Schwarber and Jorge Soler all in Monday night s starting lineup, the Cubs had four players under 25 starting on Opening Day for the first time since 1975 when Pete LaCock (1B), Manny Trillo (2B), Bill Madlock (3B) and Steve Swisher (C) all made starts. JOE MADDON AT THE HELM: Joe Maddon, the 2015 N.L. Manager of the Year, enters his second season at the helm of the Cubs he was named the 54th manager in Cubs history, November 3, 2014, and the 2016 campaign marks his 42nd season in pro baseball, his 23rd at the major league level and 11th as a major league manager. Maddon is a three-time BBWAA Manager of the Year Award winner, having earned the honor in 2008 and 2011 with Tampa Bay and last season with Chicago he is one of six managers to win the award in both leagues, joining Tony LaRussa, Bobby Cox, Jim Leyland, Lou Piniella and Bob Melvin. Maddon previously managed the Tampa Bay Rays for nine seasons from 2006-14, leading the club to four post-season appearances (2008, 2010, 2011, 2013) and winning the A.L. pennant in 2008. NEW FACES IN 2016: The Cubs have four new players on the Opening Day 25-man active roster since the conclusion of the 2015 campaign: pitchers John Lackey (free agent) and Adam Warren (trade with Yankees); infielder Ben Zobrist (free agent) and outfielder Jason Heyward (free agent). ROOKIES, OR LACK THEREOF: The Cubs started the 2016 season without a rookie on the Opening Day roster the Cubs had entered the last three campaigns with two rookies on each Opening Day roster: Kyuji Fujikawa and Hector Rondon in 2013, Mike Olt and Brian Schlitter in 2014 and Jorge Soler and Matt Szczur last season according to Ed Hartig, a rookie played for the Cubs on Opening Day in 15 of the previous 20 seasons from 1996-2015, with 1996, 1999, 2002, 2007 and 2012 being those exceptions.
