The Chicago Cubs ended the month of July with a three-game winning streak and will have the opportunity to win this series from the Milwaukee Brewers later on this evening when Kyle Hendricks takes the mound opposite former Cub, Matt Garza.
First baseman Anthony Rizzo has been the muscle behind this positive streak having homered in three consecutive games. He launched the game-winning three-run bomb late in Thursday’s game to help lift his squad to the 5-2 win then drilled a towering solo homer in last night’s 4-1 victory with Jason Hammel on the mound.
