The Cubs (59-63) saw their momentum snapped in Cleveland after a three-game sweep at the hands of the Guardians. Chicago had won eight of 10 to get within a game of the .500 mark before dropping this series. They hope to get back on a winning track as they return to Wrigley for three against the Blue Jays starting Friday afternoon.
It’s been a disappointing season for the Blue Jays (57-64), who have never lived up to the hype that surrounded their minor-league system a couple years back. They have a team OPS of .697, which is just the 19th-best in baseball.
