 The Cubs and Diamondbacks split a four-game series in late-July; the Cubs had a .582 OPS in the series, their worst against any opponent this season, and the Diamondbacks pitching staff posted a 2.62 ERA.

 The Diamondbacks offense has been as volatile as any club in MLB; in May, they ranked 30th in runs per game (2.85), jumped to 4th from June-July (5.24), and have fallen back to 24th in Aug-Sept (3.95).

 Paul Goldschmidt has a career .358/.475/.716 slash line against the Cubs. The only six other players in the live-ball era with .350+/.475+/.700+ lines against any opponent are Barry Bonds, Manny Ramirez, Mickey Mantle, Jimmie Foxx, and Josh Donaldson (minimum 150 PA).

 Kyle Hendricks' K/9 before the All-Star break was 6.54, and since the break it has jumped to 8.81. That differential in K/9 ranks fifth in baseball this season among ERA qualifiers; the only NL pitcher with a bigger jump has been Jake Arrieta (6.29&#61664;8.74).

 Patrick Corbin has a 34.4 percent swing-and-miss rate this season. There have only been two qualified pitchers with higher single-season marks in the last 25 years: Pedro Martinez in 1999 (35.8) and 1997 (34.9), and Chris Sale in 2018 (35.2).

  In his career through almost four seasons, Kris Bryant has 130 doubles, 15 triples, and 105 home runs. The only other two active players to reach these marks through four seasons are Nolan Arenado and Ryan Braun, and of the six non-active players all-time to reach these marks, five are in Cooperstown.

Cubs' shorthanded bullpen strong vs. Diamondbacks

PHOENIX (AP)  Two nights in a row, Anthony Rizzo has made a major impact on Chicago Cubs wins with efforts that don't stand out in the boxscore.
Rizzo beat out a potential double play by hustling to first base Monday, and teammate Javier Baez followed with a two-run homer. The next night, Rizzo worked a 17-pitch at-bat before lining out, and Baez followed with another two-run shot.
