In our last post, we looked at the final six games of a 12-game homestand. The games were against the Devil Rays and Yankees as the Cubs opened up interleague play. After a dismal 2-4 start to the homestand against division foes, the Cubs bounced back and took four of six to finish the homestand at an even 6-6. The split homestand dropped the Cubs out of first place for the first time since April 14. Still, they head out on the road just a game out of first.
This next trip was a 10-game, three-city trip.
