Chicago Cubs Offense With Great First 25 Games
The offense of the Chicago Cubs has been historic through its first 25 games of the regular season. They have hit 37 home runs this season and notched 35 stolen bases. They are the first team in league history to have at least 35 of each through 25 games in a season.
Chicago is riding high following a walk-off win last night against the Los Angeles Dodgers. A single by Left Fielder Ian Happ helped the Chicago Cubs clinch an 11-10 win in the bottom of the 10th. Will Chicago’s offense be able to keep playing at such a high level?
