The Cubs haven’t allowed a run for 20 innings this series against the Mets.
It’s a good thing, too, because the Cubs have only scored three of their own.
Last night’s 2-0 win in 11 innings was beyond ugly, with inept hitting and bizarre baserunning mistakes. But the Cubs picked up the win, and that’s all that matters.
The Cubs haven’t lost since Simon the magician was invited to the clubhouse. They’ll look to keep the magic alive this afternoon, as Jake Arrieta faces off against Jacob deGrom in what should be a great pitching match-up.
