"The Cubs have won five straight. Stacking victories is a rare occurrence in these parts, and a win tonight would tie the 2024 team for the longest winning streak in the Craig Counsell era."
"The Cubs plated 28 runners in taking two of three in Philadelphia, a watershed series for our heroes because productivity finally matched expected results."
"The bullpen deserves as much credit for wins on Saturday and Sunday as the team's resurgent offense. Ben Brown, Caleb Thielbar, Jacob Webb, Riley Martin, and Corbin Martin held the Mets scoreless in the two wins."
The Cubs achieved a 12-9 record following a 2-1 victory over the Mets, yet they are tied for last in the NL Central. Despite being theoretically the third-best team based on run differential, wins are the true measure of success. The Cubs have won five straight games, with a chance to tie the longest winning streak in the Craig Counsell era. Their recent series against the Phillies showcased their offensive productivity, but improvements are needed in close games, with the bullpen playing a crucial role in recent victories.
