On Sunday, July 2, 1961, the Cubs did something they never had done in the Modern Era, have not done since and almost certainly never will do again.
As 18,447 looked on at Wrigley Field, Cubs.
There were a number of unusual plays during the Cubs' 8-6 win over the Cardinals at Wrigley Field on Saturday, July 22.
Among them: a putout by Cubs catcher Yan Gomes that has happened only about.
These were the batting lines for Julio Rodriguez, Mariners center fielder, on Aug. 16-17 at Kansas City, then Aug. 18-19 at Houston:
6 AB, 1 R, 4 H, 2 RBI
5 AB, 1 R, 5 H, 5 RBI
5 AB, 1 R, 4 H, 1.
On July 22, the Cubs trailed, 3-1, after the Cardinals scored twice in the top of the third inning.
With 1 out in the bottom, 3 consecutive Cubs singled. The third hit, by Cody Bellinger, drove.
4-3 is one of the most frequent final scores in Major League Baseball.
There have been 71 such games this season.
Last year, there were 130.
Since 1901, the Cubs have played 1,083 games that.
