As Joe Maddon says, two out of three ain’t bad. The Cubs won the three-game series against the Diamondbacks and completed an excellent 10-game homestand against the Phillies, Dodgers and Diamondbacks with an 8-2 record.
The Cubs hit the road 23 games over .500 even with Jake Arrieta’s incredible run coming to an end on Sunday.
In what defines how unpredictable baseball is. No one would have predicted the Cubs would have lost both games started by Jake Arrieta on the homestand and won eight out of the 10 games.
The Cubs named its Minor League Player and Pitcher of the Month for May.
