6. The Cubs have indeed bounced back.

Saturday

They won ten straight, lost three in a row, and have now won four straight. That's 14-3 in their last 17 games.

Which is pretty good.

A nice thing that's happening is that it seems different players are the heroes. Today Ian Happ hit a solo homer and a triple in the 8th, which allowed Suzuki to bring him home on a sacrifice fly right after in a 2-0 game. Yesterday Michael Busch came through with a two out, 2 rbi single. On Wednesday Matt Shaw hit a solo home run in the 8th which proved to be the difference. Tuesday Pete Crow-Armstrong hit a big 3-run homer. And so on.
