Just when it looked like the Cardinals were going to fade from the picture and the Brewers were emerging as the Cubs one true competitor for the division the Cubs tank an important 3 game series. They managed to score only 2 runs in the entire 3 game series. After several years of the Cubs dominating the Cardinals the Cardinals have finally solved the Cubs puzzle. Head to head records like 6-12 have been too much for the Cardinals to overcome in the division race. This year with a 6-3 start against the Cubs they will not have to make up for the head to head losses.
The Cubs road struggles have continued and their many struggling road hitters like Lee, .167 0 HR, Bradley .182 2 HR, and Soto .167 0 Hr 0 RBI are all contributing nothing away from Wrigley..
