They’ve won 11 of their last 13 games, swept the Padres, and blasted 23 runs in one game—the most in 31 years—with eight homers tying a franchise record. Dansby Swanson is on a historic tear, hitting three homers including a grand slam, and putting up RBI numbers that rival legends like Joe DiMaggio and Lou Gehrig. The whole offense is clicking, especially at Wrigley with the wind blowing out—back-to-back games with five homers or more, a rare feat this season. Seiya Suzuki hit his 100th career homer in the series. Meanwhile, the pitching staff, despite injuries and a tough schedule, has held strong with standout performances from Shota Imanaga, Matthew Boyd, Colin Rea, and reliable relievers Gavin Hollowell and Tyler Ferguson. From rock bottom to league-leading offense, the Cubs are proving they can play at the highest level when everything aligns.
