Here is an astonishing fact:
The Cubs' 9-0 victory over the Brewers on Saturday was just the second shutout they ever have posted at home in which they scored at least 9 runs and had only 1.
Third and last in a series of posts answering questions about games since 1901 in which the Cubs scored in 4 or more consecutive innings.
...
8. Did they ever alternate scoring and not.
David Bote's ninth-inning, base-loaded home run that beat the Nationals, 4-3, on Aug. 12, 2018, is unique among Cubs homers.
In fact, there has been only 1 other such "Ultimate Slam" in the entire.
Starting in 1901, the first year of the Modern Era, the Cubs have played 18,855 regular-season games.
They have won 9,467 of them.
In more than one third of those wins, 3,367, they scored between.
On Sept. 1, Justin Steele and Adbert Alzolay combined to shut out the Twins at Minnesota.
As I reported at the time, they became only the third pair of Cubs pitchers to allow no runs in a game in.
