Cubs match the 1907 team for best start in team history since 1900. The +104 RD is the fifth best since 1900, trailing the 1902 Pirates, 1939 Yankees, 1905 Giants and 1912 Giants.
Clayton Kershaw struck out 13 and only walked 1 tonight and his K/BB ratio actually went down. He came in at 21.33 and is now only at 19.25 K/BB (77:4).
The Cubs had as many losses today as they did in the 16 games prior to that (starting with Jake's no-no). Which means they're still 14-4 in the last 18 games.
