The Yankees shut out the Cubs 2-0 on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon at Wrigley Field, and before I get to the two mistakes noted in the headline to this recap, a couple of shutout facts from BCB’s JohnW53:
This was the 11th home game of the year in which the Cubs were shut out, tying their single-season record, set in 1947. They have averaged 4.8 shutouts at home per season since 1901.
Their 15 total shutouts this year are five more than all of last season. The last year they had more was 2014, when they finished with 16 for a third straight season.
