The Chicago Cubs did something only two other Cubs teams have done in their franchise history.
Currently 18-12 and fighting for the top spot in the National League Central, the Cubs have played better than maybe anyone expected coming into the year. After an offseason that saw them make multiple moves, the players the front office landed have been a big help to their early success., it was just the third time in franchise history that Chicago has won 17 games in the month of April.
Their ace Justin Steele didn't pitch, Cody Bellinger got injured and sat the last week of the month, Seiya Suzuki missed more than half of April, and other important pieces in the rotation have gotten banged up as well.
