Frequently Asked Questions
Why do Cubs fans call American Family Field 'Wrigley North'?
So many Cubs fans showed up to the series in Milwaukee that the stadium was described as filled to the brim with Chicago supporters, making it feel like a home game for the Cubs. The nickname is used to troll Brewers fans and reflects how heavily Cubs fans travel to Milwaukee.
Who made the biggest hit for the Cubs on Sunday against the Brewers?
Seiya Suzuki came through with the biggest hit of the game, driving in two runs with a bases-loaded single to left field. A bobble by Jackson Chourio allowed the second run to score easily, which proved crucial as the Brewers later cut the lead to 4-3.
How did the Cubs clinch the series win over the Brewers on Sunday?
Jordan Wicks got Gary Sanchez to ground into a 5-4-3 double play to end the game and clinch the series win. The Brewers had gotten the game back to 4-3 before that final double play sealed it for Chicago.
Where did David Peterson and Bryse Wilson come from before pitching for the Cubs?
David Peterson was acquired in a trade with the New York Mets, while Bryse Wilson was claimed off waivers from the Philadelphia Phillies. Neither pitcher had been in the Cubs organization even a week before the series began.
How far back are the Cubs in the NL Central standings and who do they host next?
The Cubs are 5.5 games back of the Brewers in the NL Central division race. They return home to Wrigley Field to host the San Diego Padres and St. Louis Cardinals, two teams they currently lead in the Wild Card standings by two and 1.5 games, respectively.
