WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The Cubs have already played nine regular season games. They traveled halfway across the world and back to be swept by the Dodgers in the Tokyo Series. They went through a jet-lagged second spring training stint. They opened their domestic schedule in Arizona, splitting the series at Chase Field. And they set a record for runs scored against the A’s in their first three home games, while breaking in the team’s new home in West Sacramento.
