Cubs Break Crazy Franchise Record, Continue To Defy Odds

Sunday night felt like the game that got away for the Chicago Cubs. After Mike Tauchman’s game-tying home run in the eighth inning, they were in the perfect position to steal one from the Boston Red Sox. Instead, the Red Sox stole it right back in gut-wrenching fashion.

Monday brought questions about whether “luck” was running out after dropping two consecutive games. The Cubs have multiple All-Star contenders on their injured list. The defensive effort has been lackluster at times. The offense was starting to slump.
