Holy mackerel! The first place Chicago Cubs beat the Rangers 7-1 on Friday behind a nice start from Five-Fingered Brown (4 IP, 0 ER, 3 K), two hits apiece from Pete Crow-Armstrong and Michael Conforto, and a bases-clearing three-run double from Michael Busch!
The win was the Cubs' TENTH straight -- their second 10-game winning streak of the 2026 season. They have won 20 of their last 23 games and have the best record in MLB!
Conforto's 2-for-4 night raised his season average to .375 (1.155 OPS) and Brown's season ERA sits at 1.82.
The series continues Saturday in Arlington.
39 games down, 123 to go.
GO CUBS GO!
