The Cubs went 15-4 versus the Reds in 2016. That .789 winning percentage was Chicago's best in a season against Cincinnati since going 21-1 (.955) in their meetings in 1945.

The Cubs have given up four or more runs in each of their last six games. This is their longest such streak since giving up 4+ runs in 11 consecutive games, June 30-July 10, 2016.

Opponents are batting just .156 (17/109) with runners in scoring position against Cincinnati's pitchers this season. Only the Astros (.151) have a lower opponent BA with RISP.

Zack Cozart is batting .419 (13/21) in home games this season, which is fourth highest in the NL (minimum 1.55 PA/team G). He hit .333 in home games in April last season.

Jon Lester is 0-0 in 2017, becoming just the second MLB pitcher since 1913 to have a no decision in each of his first three starts of a season despite going 5+ innings and allowing no more than one run in each start (John Thomson, Atl, 2006). Since 1913, no pitcher has done this in his first four starts of any season (streaks exclude any relief appearances).

In his brief career, opponents have just .188 (15/80) against Tim Adleman when there are two outs in an inning, compared to .270 (51/189) when there are one or zero outs.

CINCINNATI -- The Chicago Cubs have displayed a flair for the dramatic this season, winning three straight games in which they trailed by three runs or more for the first time since 1929.
Manager Joe Maddon, however, would like to see them win in more conventional fashion. To do that, the Cubs need to get more consistent in every facet.

Streaking Cubs go for 5th straight vs. Reds

CINCINNATI (AP)  With his high leg kick and below-the-radar breaking balls, Bronson Arroyo showed the Cubs a little old-style pitching. Who needs to throw 90 mph to beat the World Series champions?
The 40-year-old righty gave his best performance yet in his long comeback from elbow problems, pitching three-hit ball over six innings on Sunday, and the Cincinnati Reds salvaged a 7-5 victory . Arroyo worked fast, varied the angles of his deliveries, and kept `em guessing with his minimalist pitches.
