"The Rangers stopped our heroes dead in their tracks with a 6-0 win in Arlington last night. As odd as it was to see Chicago lose, it was more confounding to watch Jack Leiter and a couple of relievers completely shut them down. The Cubs managed just four hits and couldn't take advantage of five free passes from Leiter."
"That said, the loss presents a new opportunity to go on another heater. The Cubs have been unable to muster much separation in the NL Central despite winning 20 of 24 games. Their lead sits at 3.5 games over the Cardinals, with the Brewers (-4.5), Pirates (-5), and Reds (-6) right behind, so there's no letting up."
"All of the teams are playing above .500 and each has at least 20 wins, something no other division can claim. The Cubs are tied with the Braves for the best record in baseball, and they'll meet for a three-game set in Atlanta starting Tuesday."
