From the department of really specific and random baseball stats:
The Cubs are the first team in MLB history with an eight-game stretch that includes 98 hits, 80 runs, 43 extra base hits, 18 steals, and 14 homers.
The Cubs are 7-1 over this stretch and are playing some of their best baseball of the year. This season is a really odd one. The Cubs were an elite team over their first 26 games, jumping out to a 17-9 team despite a decently strong early season schedule. They are now 18-8 over this last 26 games, at least in part because of a really soft schedule.
