Dodgers rookie James Outman starts in center field on opening day against the Diamondbacks. It’s just the fifth career major league game for Outman, and his first-ever game at Dodger Stadium.
A previous post looked at some of the longest batting streaks by Cubs other than hits and home runs, including Hank Sauer scoring runs in 15 games in a row, Stan Hack making singles in 22 straight.
From 1876 through last night, the Cubs have hit 14,747 home runs in regular-season games.
That is the third-highest total in big league history, behind only the Yankees (16,681) and Giants.
The Cubs' 1-0 victory over the Braves on Friday was their 251st by that smallest possible score since the Modern Era began in 1901.
They won twice by 1-0 in the post season, in Game 4 of the 1906.
