The Cubs (57-60) just took two of three from the Minnesota Twins at Wrigley Field for their second consecutive series win. Those victories bring their record within three games of the .500 mark, which is the closest they have been since the middle of June. Next up is a pair of games across town against a reeling White Sox team.
This season has been an absolute nightmare on the South Side, with the Sox currently 61 games below .500 (28-89) and on pace to break the 1962 New York Mets’ record for most losses in a single season (120).
