Seventy wins came surprisingly quickly for the Chicago Cubs.
It took the Cubs 24 games to go from win No. 50 to win No. 60 this season. They needed just 11 games to go from 60 wins to 70. The Cubs have won 11 of their last 12 games.
With the win, the Cubs improved to 70-41 on the year. It’s the fastest they have made it to 70 wins in a season since 1945. That Cubs team started 70-38 and made it to the World Series. They lost in seven games to the Tigers.
