“We haven’t done anything up to this point. We’re still a good way back from the team across the way. We’ve got to go out and compete. A couple more games with them and chase down this thing.”

The Cubs are definitely competing. They’ve scored 36 runs in about 27 hours. Put one other approach, it’s probably the most runs they’ve scored in a two-game span since no less than 1900; they scored 35 runs on June 2-3, 1987.

Along with Morel, Ian Happ hit a pair of dwelling runs and Dansby Swanson and Seiya Suzuki every hit one. Among a protracted record of offensive contributions, Jeimer Candelario went 4-for-4 in his second sport again with the Cubs.

The Cubs (55-53) at the moment are simply two video games again of the Reds and Brewers within the loss column.
