The previous time the Cubs followed a skid of at least six-straight games with at least five victories was in 2013 (0-6, May 19-25 then 5-0, May 26-31). Last night s setback also snapped Chicago s eight-game home winning streak dating to May 23 it was the team s longest winning streak at Wrigley Field since a nine-game winning streak last August 16-September 2. Following this four-game set, the Cubs on Monday embark on a stretch in which 17 of 20 games through July 2 are on the road that begins with a six-game trip at the Mets (three games starting Monday) and at the Pirates (three games beginning June 16). Monday also begins a stretch in which 21 of Chicago s next 24 games are outside its own division. THE CONFINES HAVE BEEN FRIENDLY: Since the start of last season, Jon Lester is 13-2 with a 1.87 ERA (31 ER/149.1 IP) in 22 starts at Wrigley Field that 1.87 home ERA is second-lowest among active pitchers, surpassed only by the Dodgers Clayton Kershaw (1.60 ERA) Cubs teammate Kyle Hendricks is third in that span (2.04). Lester in his last 17 regular season home starts is 12-0 with a 1.70 ERA (22 ER/116.1 IP) his 12-game home winning streak is the first of its kind since Jon Lieber won 13-straight decisions at Wrigley Field in 2001-02. SHOOTING FOR 150: Jon Lester enters tonight 149-87 in 329 career games (328 starts) and tonight looks to become the 64th left-handed pitcher to reach 150 career victories among active pitchers, Lester s 149 wins are eighth-most (Jered Weaver is seventh with 150) teammate Jon Lackey is third with 180 victories. SOME TALENT AT THE HOT CORNER: This series features the top-two N.L. third baseman in WAR since the start of the 2015 season Kris Bryant paces Senior Circuit third baseman in that span with 17.1 WAR, second-most among all major league players at the hot corner (Toronto s Josh Donaldson, 17.5) Colorado s Nolan Arenado is second among N.L. third basemen since the start of 2015, with a 12.1 WAR in that span according to fangraphs. BIG INNINGS ABOUND: Including Chicago s four-run fifth and six-run seventh innings on Tuesday, the Cubs have scored at least four runs in a frame 20 times this season that s third-most in the majors, trailing only the Yankees and Nationals, who both have had 21 innings with four or more runs this season.

Carl Edwards Jr. has limited opponents to a.085 average (6-for-71), the best mark among all major league relievers. Wade Davis has converted his first 12 save chances this season and his last 18 dating to September of last year with the Royals. HOME VS.

MLB s Statcast notes that Edwards is limiting hitters to an average exit velocity of just 78.7 miles per hour on batted balls, the lowest mark among major league pitchers (min. 30 batted balls). FLEXING SOME MUSCLE: Beginning with the nightcap of May 9 s twinbill in Colorado, the Cubs have hit 40 home runs in their last 26 games, with the 40 blasts in that span ranking tied for second with Arizona Cincinnati leads with 41 homers.

ABOUT THE BATS: Cubs batters have been hit by a pitch 34 times, the most in the majors Cubs pinch-hitters are batting.315 (28-for- 89) with a.406 OBP this season, both the second-highest average and OBP among any N.L. club (St. Louis,.342 average and.407 OBP from its pinch-hitters). Anthony Rizzo has struck out just twice in his last 72 plate appearances spanning his last 17 games since May 21 he s walked nine times in that span with a.417 on-base percentage.

RISPY BUSINESS: While batting.327 (16-for-49) with the bases loaded, the Cubs are hitting just.208 (89-for-428) in all other runners in scoring position situations overall, the team s.220 mark (105-for-477) with RISP is last in the N.L. Chicago has gone 11-for-30 (.367) with RISP in the last four games after going 5-for-47 (.106) in that situation in the team s previous eight games.
