The Miami Marlins had won four consecutive series heading into Wrigley Field, while the Chicago Cubs had lost five in a row before Monday. Well, because it’s baseball that meant absolutely nothing, as the Cubs are on their way to a sweep.
Kris Bryant hit his 100th career home run in the first inning, but then the Cubs offense exploded in the third, scoring eight runs. Addison Russell started the rally with a leadoff double and then he capped the third inning off with his first home run of the season.

The Cubs already have two players on cycle watches, as Russell and Bryant are halfway there with a home run and double.
…and Anthony Rizzo just hit an RBI-double, so he’s halfway to the cycle too!
