Entering this weekend’s series with the playoff hopeful Diamondbacks, the Cubs had scored 39 runs in their last four games and the third-most runs in baseball since the All-Star break.
Since Thursday, there has been a chill in the air at Wrigley and throughout the home team’s lineup. The Cubs (76-67) have been held to three runs total while dropping three straight games to an Arizona club now just one game behind them for the second wild-card spot.
