It wasn’t their flashiest victory by a long stretch, but the Cubs only needed one run to win behind a fantastic performance by Jose Quintana and the bullpen. The win had me thinking of a few numbers, so I wanted to share those with you in a more brief and digestible format than you’re used to seeing from me.
11 – Number of times the Cubs have shut out their opponents this season
1 – Number of wins in their last 11 in which the Cubs never trailed in the game
6 – Shutout innings by Jose Quintana
2 – Participants the Cubs will have in the Home Run Derby
0 – More games without Kris Bryant (presumably)
