The Cubs have won three in a row for the first time since late April and they’ve set themselves up for their first sweep of more than a two-gamer since that same time. They beat the Astros thrice at Wrigley from April 23-25 and then won their first game in Boston to move to 17-9, giving them one of the better records in the league. That feels like a very long time ago, maybe even like it never really happened at all, because we all felt much more optimistic about the Cubs at that point.
Okay, not all of us.
