It’s a good thing the Cubs celebrated the past this weekend at Wrigley Field — first baseman Anthony Rizzo’s return, third baseman Aramis Ramirez and right-hander Kerry Wood being inducted into the Cubs Hall of Fame — because the current team gave fans little to cheer for over the weekend.

Third baseman Isaac Paredes’ line-drive single in the first inning to score the Cubs’ only two runs of the game in Sunday’s 2-1 win over the Yankees (82-61).

Despite getting out-hit 6-3 by the Yankees, the Cubs mustered just enough runs to steal a game after being shut out in the previous two games.
