Entering their weekend series against the Diamondbacks, the Cubs (76-67) had scored 39 runs in their previous four games and the third-most runs in the majors since the All-Star break.
Since Thursday, however, there has been a chill in the air at Wrigley Field and throughout the Cubs’ lineup. They have been held to a combined four runs while dropping three consecutive games to the Diamondbacks, who are now only one game behind them for the second National League wild-card spot.
