The Cubs won their record seventh straight game of the City Series , dating to 2023 , and tied the all-time series 74-74 .

The Cubs left 14 men on base to keep the game from getting out of hand in their 13 -3 win on Friday .

Cubs broadcaster Pat Hughes says the rivalry almost always lives up to the hype.

The tough schedule early on seems to have helped the comfort level now that they’re facing the lesser lights like the Marlins and Sox. “Everybody in this league is obviously in this league for a reason,” Swanson said, repeating the age-old mantra of good teams that beat up on bad teams. Whatever. The lesson we’ve learned so far from the first two games of the City Series ? This is not a good Sox team. Short but not so sweet..
