 The Cubs are 12-3 against the Giants at Wrigley Field since 2015, with San Francisco batting a mere .188. Since the Giants moved to San Francisco in 1958, the only other time the Cubs won at least 12 times over a 15-game stretch against them at Wrigley was between 1975-77 (also 12-3).

 Javy Baez has hit safely in 11 straight home games, and is batting .486 with five homers, 13 RBI and 14 runs in his last nine at Wrigley. Baez, however, is hitting just .213 in his career against the Giants, his second-lowest batting average against any NL team (Nationals, .184).

 The Cubs won their final two games in Pittsburgh over the weekend, holding the Pirates to zero and one run. They've had 27 games this year allowing a run or less, tied with the Dodgers for the most in the NL.

 Yu Darvish is slated to start Wednesday, and he's issued just two walks over his last eight outings. The last Cubs pitcher to walk two or fewer over an eight-start span in a single season was in 1965 by Bill Faul, who also walked two.

 Mike Yastrzemski had three homers Friday and a triple Saturday in Arizona, and now has 137 total bases in 72 games on the season. Since 1920, only a pair of Hall of Famers reached that mark faster into their rookie seasons as Giants -- Orlando Cepeda (59 games in 1958) and Willie Mays (62 games in 1951).

 Brandon Belt homered twice and drove in eight in San Francisco's just-completed four-game series with the Diamondbacks after having two home runs and seven RBI in his first 30 games after the All-Star break. Since his 2011 rookie season, Belt's .182 average against the Cubs ranks second-worst among the 84 batters with at least 150 plate appearances. (Orioles' Jonathan Villar, .181).

HP - Nauert, 1B - Hernandez, 2B - Hickox, 3B - Torres
