Although they lost on Sunday, the Cubs (24-19) still have their best record through 43 games since the 2008 season (26-17); that was also the last season that Chicago made the postseason. The Cubs were 16-27 through 43 games last season.

Tsuyoshi Wada is undefeated in three career starts in day games, going 1-0 with a 2.87 (5/15.2) ERA and .143 (8/56) opponent average in these appearances.

After losing each of his first four career starts against NL Central opponents, Tanner Roark has now won his last three, posting a 2.29 (5/19.2) ERA and .194 (14/72) opponent average during this streak.

The Nationals are 18-0 this season when Yunel Escobar scores at least one run in a game. Escobar scored once in Washington's win over Philadelphia on Sunday.

Kris Bryant saw his 12-game hitting streak snapped when he went 0-for-4 in Sunday's loss to the Diamondbacks. That 12-game streak was tied for the longest by any Cub this season (also Addison Russell, April 26-May 9).
