The Cubs’ offensive surge Tuesday in their 14-1 win against the Marlins made for a wild set of achievements through the Cubs’ first 49 games of the season:
It was the team’s 10th time this season scoring in the double digits. The Cubs had not achieved that feat before the 50-game mark since 1898, when they scored 10-plus runs 11 times in their first 49 games of the season.
En route to the win Tuesday, the Cubs put together an eight-run sixth inning and a five-run ninth inning.
