The Cubs kept rolling Monday with a 3-1 win over the Rockies at Wrigley Field, and one-third of the way through the season, they’re on track for their best record since their 2016 championship team.

It was hardly one of the artful or overpowering offensive performances that have carried them to this point, but it doesn’t take much to beat the lowly Rockies. While the Cubs improved to 33-21, putting them on pace for 99 wins, the Rockies are still trying to crack double digits at 9-45.
