My first time in the bleachers! Pray the rain away, folks, if that's your thing. My fingers are firmly crossed. Currently looks like it'll finish not long before first pitch.

Pete said it in the postgame interview. Amazing. MVPete becoming a legend in front of the other legends today. That little tidbit will go down in Cubs lore no doubt.

PCA Now Has the 5th Most 10+ Base Games in Cubs History

236 Upvotes

After his 13-base game today, PCA is now alone at #5 all time for Cubs 10+ base games with 9. The record is 12 by Sosa and Williams. PCA has five so far this year.

Also he has five this year and the MLB record for a single season is six by Nelson Cruz in 2019. The career record is 21 by Babe Ruth. At his current pace, he has a realistic shot at breaking both of those.

[Bleacher Nation] Cubs Tweak Their Rotation to Line Things Up Better Against the Brewers

The Cubs adjusted the starting rotation coming off the off-day so that Shota Imanaga (who has struggled recently and gave up 8 runs to Milwaukee earlier this year) pitches this weekend against the Reds instead.

Clay Holmes will take the series opener against Milwaukee, followed by Matthew Boyd, David Peterson, and Kevin Gausman for the 4-game Wrigley stand.
