Calling August a topsy-turvy month for the Cubs would be an understatement.
The team began the month by taking out of three from the Orioles, though they would go on to lose the next three series before righting the ship against the Pirates. Then came the exceedingly five-game set with the Brewers, which the Cubs won and then consolidated with a sweep of the Angels... only to follow that up by getting swept by the Giants.
Naturally, there's been tons of fluctuations in the lineup and starting rotation as the team tries to get back on track before the final month of the season.
