Cubs News!!

Cubs hit walk-off home runs on consecutive days on May 7 and May 8 (Kris Bryant & Jason Heyward). It is the first time the Cubs have done this since 1998 when Orlando Merced & Mark Grace did it on September 12 and 13 against the Braves.

After being injured for much of the 2018 season, it appears that Kris Bryant is back. He hit 3 home runs in a game for the 2nd time in his career on May 17th in a 14-6 Cubs win over the Nationals in Washington.
