 The Cubs are 4-3 against the Reds in 2020, with all seven games played in Cincinnati. Chicago averaged 6.6 runs and 2.7 home runs in those seven games

 The Cubs had lost three in a row before Monday's 5-1 win over St. Louis. They have allowed one or zero runs in 11 games this season, third most in the majors behind Cleveland (13) and Atlanta (12).

 Cincinnati split a four-game set with the Pirates over the weekend, the Reds' MLB-high seventh series split of the year. They've won two series (t-third fewest in MLB) and lost five.

 Eugenio Suarez hit four homers in the Pittsburgh series, including his first career three-homer game in Saturday's 6-2 win. Suarez's 95 home runs since the start of the 2018 season rank second only to Mike Trout (99).

 Tyler Mahle has held left-handed batters to a .155 batting average this year (9/58), fifth best among MLB right-handers with at least 50 lefties faced.

 Ian Happ currently leads the majors with a 1.079 OPS. The only Cubs in the modern era to lead MLB in the category are Rogers Hornsby in 1929 (1.139) and Derrek Lee in 2005 (1.080).

Cubs try to get back on track against Reds

CHICAGO (AP)  Willson Contreras had four hits to tie a career high, rookie Nico Hoerner added three RBIs and the Chicago Cubs overcame an early three-run deficit to top Sonny Gray and the Cincinnati Reds 8-5 Thursday on a long, wet night at Wrigley Field.
Ian Happ drove in two runs and Hoerner, Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo and Cameron Maybin each had two hits as the Cubs broke out of an offensive funk and strengthened their grip on first place in the NL Central. Maybin and Contreras each drove in a run and scored twice in a game that started 75 minutes late because of rain and ended after 4 hours, 7 minutes, with 1 a.m. approaching.
