The Cubs fell three games back of the Brewers after dropping three of four to the Dodgers. However, their hot start to 2021 has resulted in a 42-36 record despite playing the hardest part of their schedule in the first half of the season. Most of those wins have been the result of a surprisingly effective bullpen anchored by Craig Kimbrel, Ryan Tepera and Andrew Chafin. Their dominance was on display Thursday night in L.A. as they finished off the franchise’s first combined no-hitter after Zach Davies left the game in the seventh inning.
