NEW YORK – The Cubs entered the All-Star break riding a series win at Yankee Stadium.
With a 4-1 win against the Yankees in the rubber match Sunday, the Cubs improved their record to 57-39, the second-best mark in the National League, behind the Dodgers (58-39). The National League Central race remains tight, with the Brewers trailing the Cubs by just one game.
“Just really good way to finish it,” Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson said after the game Sunday. “[After] dropping the series in Minnesota, and then the first game kind of getting out of hand, to be able to come back and win two games against a really good team, it’s a great way to finish, setting us up for, hopefully, a great second half.
