Cubs Have Lost 10 in a Row Following Two 10 Game Winning Streaks

The Chicago Cubs have had a wild season and we're not even at the end of May.

Between April 14th and 24th, the Cubs won 10 games in a row.

Following three consecutive losses, the Cubs would win 10 games in a row again between April 28th and May 8th. 

However, in the intervening 18 days since, the Cubs have gone 2-14 including a 10-game losing streak which happened today following a 12-1 shellacking at the hands of the Pittsburgh Pirates. During this losing streak, the Cubs have been outscored 65-25.

In the space of 18 days, the Cubs have gone from leading the NL Central by 3½ games to being back in a tie for last place with the aforementioned Bucs by 4½ games. That's a seven-game swing in 2½ weeks.

Still, despite going from first to being tied for worst in the NL Central, the Cubs still have a winning record of 29-26 and can certainly rebound from this setback.

Well, no one can accuse the 2026 Cubs of being dull.
