The Chicago Cubs offense is humming!
The Chicago Cubs beat the Washington Nationals 7-6 on Friday night in Washington. With the win, the red-hot Cubs have moved to 69-66 on the year. As a result, they remain on the fringes of the National League wild card picture. They are 5.0 games behind the Atlanta Braves for the third and final wild card spot.
