The Cubs’ bullpen has been absolutely outstanding this year

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.
