The Blue Jays swept the Cubs the last time they faced Chicago (at Rogers Centre in September 2014), outscoring the Cubs by 25 runs over the three-game series (28-3). Toronto is 8-4 versus Chicago all-time, and won its only road series ever played against the Cubs (won two of three games at Chicago in June 2005).

The Blue Jays won their third consecutive series by taking three of four games versus the Rays at home earlier this week, tied with the Indians for the second-longest active streak in the bigs (the Dodgers have won their last seven series). Toronto's three-series win streak is tied for its longest such streak this season (the Blue Jays had two separate streaks in which they won three consecutive series in May).

The Cubs lost at home to the Reds, 13-10, on Thursday, their most runs scored in a loss since losing at home to the Braves, 13-12, on May 28, 2006. Chicago is averaging 5.66 runs per game since the All-Star break, the second most in MLB behind the Rockies (5.73).

Kris Bryant had two home runs and a double this week versus the Reds, giving him 52 extra-base hits on the season. Bryant has had at least 50 extra-base hits in each of his three big league seasons, the first Cub all-time to begin his career with at least three consecutive seasons with 50 extra-base hits.

J.A. Happ has allowed exactly one run in each of his three starts this month, posting a 1.45 ERA in 18.2 innings pitched (the third-lowest ERA in MLB this August, minimum three starts). Over those three starts, Happ struck out 29.9 percent of the batters he faced (the third-best mark among MLB lefties this month, minimum three starts).

Jake Arrieta has allowed two or fewer earned runs in all six of his starts since the All-Star break, posting a 2.09 ERA and .190 opponent batting average over that span. However, Arrieta has a 5.45 ERA in 36.1 career innings pitched versus Toronto, his fifth-highest ERA versus any team over his career.

CHICAGO -- There will be a familiar face peeking out of the visitor's dugout as the Toronto Blue Jays make a rare visit to Wrigley Field for a three-game weekend series with the Chicago Cubs beginning Friday afternoon.
Blue Jays catcher Miguel Montero, who won a World Series ring last year with the Cubs before leaving under fire after he criticized pitcher Jake Arrieta in June, will be on hand after rejoining Toronto this week following a stint on the disabled list.

CHICAGO (AP)  Jake Arrieta may never duplicate the second half he had two years ago in winning the NL Cy Young Award.
The Cubs don't care.
