CHICAGO -- For the second straight day, the Cubs' Albert Almora Jr. and Javier Baez extended their hit streaks with back-to-back hits.
With two out in the Chicago third on Saturday, Almora singled to left off Brewers starter Junior Guerra to extend his hitting streak to a career-high 11 games. Baez matched that with a Wrigley Field double, driving in Almora. Brewers center fielder Lorenzo Cain signaled that he lost Baez's ball, which then deflected off shortstop Orlando Arcia's glove.
Baez now has a career-high 11-game hitting streak, too.
