  • LOSSES: As you read earlier this morning, the Cubs have now tied the franchise-record longest home losing streak at 12. Other long Cubs home losing streaks in a single season: 11 in 1902, 10 in 1951 and 1974 and nine in 1970 and 2006.
  • MORE ON THE STREAK: In the Cubs’ current 12-game home losing streak they have been outscored 90-32 and posted a .202 BA (78-for-386) and 7.36 ERA. Yikes.
