The Cubs continued in high gear as the regular season came to a close.
The Cubs saved a lot of the best for last, as they continued with some shutouts, an exciting walkoff win, and near-total dominance of the Cardinals.
Team record
The Cubs were 19-9 in September, their best September since the 19-8 mark posted in 2003. Add to that the 4-0 in October and the Cubs were 23-9 from September 1 to the end of the season. That's the most wins any Cubs team has had from September 1 to season's end since 1935, when they went 23-3.
