The Cubs took care of business against the the Los Angeles Dodgers, who had been the hottest team in the NL before coming to Chicago. After the first game was postponed to Tuesday, the Cubs took two of three in exciting fashion. They are currently 42-29, are tied for first in the NL Central with the Brewers, and have the National League’s best record.
Now, they leave the Friendly Confines for an eight-game road trip. Their first stop will be at the Great American Launch Pad in Cincinnati, where they will play four games against the hapless Reds.
