When last we checked in on the 1969 Cubs, they had a 4-2 week, despite two straight losses in Los Angeles to the end of the week. The four straight wins to start the week ran their winning streak to five and saw their division lead increase to six games. Even with the two losses at the end of the week, that’s where the lead ended the week.
The final three games of the week were played in Houston. That was the first stop on a 12-game, four-city trip west. This week, we see the next two stops.
