The last two installments of this series have seen the Cubs win five of six games during the week. Those 10 wins in 12 games put the Cubs back into first place. I’ve told you often though that this was not one of those seasons were success was linear. There is no straight line to the top and there are still more struggles to be written about.
Spoiler alert, this will be one of those weeks. That probably shouldn’t be too surprising. As the season was coming to the end of May, the Cubs were finishing up a stretch of games against the NL West with a three game set against the Braves.
