The Cubs and Nationals played seven games this season, four in Washington and three at Wrigley Field.
The first series was played in June, when the Cubs were struggling and the Nats were building a big lead in the N.L. East. Even so, that series was split, two games each.
In August, when the teams met at Wrigley Field, the Cubs had just lost two of three to the Diamondbacks, but were in first place. The Nats were coasting, entering the series with a 12-game lead in their division.
Here’s a brief summary of all seven Cubs/Nats regular-season contests.
