The Cubs won again last night, making it 13 straight victories when they score at least four runs. Twelve of those have come this month, and taking two from the Rockies while the Reds have dropped five in a row means Craig Counsell‘s team is a virtual lock to make the postseason. The Cubs are two games up on the Padres and five on the Mets for the top Wild Card spot, then there are another five games separating the Reds from a playoff berth. Between that and roster expansion tomorrow, they can get a little more creative with their personnel.
Chicago Cubs Lineup (8/31/25): Busch Leads Off, Castro 2B, Boyd on Bump
