How rare is a 4-3 win?
The Cubs have had 518 through Friday's over the Cardinals.
They have played 19,116 games.
Elly De La Cruz, the Reds' rookie sensation, dazzled the baseball world on Saturday.
In the eighth inning, at Milwaukee, he lined a single on an 0-2 pitch to give his team a 6-5 lead.
On the next.
In his last 10 games, through Friday, Cody Bellinger is batting .500, with 19 hits in 38 at bats, among them 2 doubles and 2 homers.
That is very impressive but far from the highest average by.
Last Saturday, the Cubs scored 3 runs on just 4 hits and beat the Orioles, 3-2.
On Sunday, they made 3 runs on 3 hits and lost, 6-3.

Christopher Morel garnered a lot of attention when he made at least 1 hit in his first 13 games after rejoining the Cubs.
Only 3 Cubs have had longer streaks to start any season:
