The Cubs (16-10) continued their strong start to the 2025 season by taking a pair of games from the World Series champion Dodgers at Wrigley. The offense continued to lead the way for Chicago with 18 runs scored in the two contests. Pete Crow-Armstrong in particular is absolutely raking right now, piling up extra-base hits and raising his batting average 100 points in just over a week.
The North Siders are starting to build up a lead in the National League Central before even playing a single game against one of their division rivals. Another talented team comes to the Friendly Confines this weekend when the Phillies play a three-game set beginning Friday afternoon.
