You may have read or heard that the amazing catch, throw and relay by the Braves against the Phillies on Monday night was the first 8-5-3 double play ever to end a post-season game.
Let's go a bit.
On July 22, the Cubs trailed, 3-1, after the Cardinals scored twice in the top of the third inning.
With 1 out in the bottom, 3 consecutive Cubs singled. The third hit, by Cody Bellinger, drove.
Christopher Morel homered in his first game after rejoining the Cubs last week.
105 different Cubs have homered in their season debut, a total of 135 times.
But if Morel can hit a home run in his.
On May 15 of this year, in the Cubs' 3-2 win at Arizona, 5 of their 8 hits were for extra bases.
None of the 5 was a triple.
Exactly 25 years earlier, on May 15, 1997, while beating the Padres at.
This afternoon, the Cubs will host the Giants for the first time this season.
It was the same story a year ago, when the teams didn't meet at Wrigley Field until Sept. 10.
More than a century.
