It all started early in the month when they swept the Dodgers in a three-game series. One of those games was seven innings long due to a postponement, and one took 11 innings to get the job done. The Cubs started to really get things going in back-to-back series against the Nationals and Cardinals, where they only dropped one game in each. Things got even better after they faced the Pirates next when <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/mlb\/news\/samson-pirates-javier-baez-base-running-blunder-was-once-in-a-lifetime-mlb-mistake\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">El Mago pulled another trick out of his magic bag<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> as he danced up and down the first baseline in what should\u2019ve been an easy out. Instead, Baez\u2019s antics led to a run scored with him on second. He would then go on to score himself in the inning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But it wasn\u2019t only the offense that found their groove, as the Cubs bullpen lit up the mound from mid-May. It would take 38 and \u2153 innings before the bullpen finally gave up a run to the Reds on May 30. The stretch of dominance ended up setting a franchise record.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"sbi-embed-wrap\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media sbi-embed\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CPghLIjBnUf\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Through 29 games, the team went 19-10 and currently hold the top spot in the AL Central. Unfortunately, while they were doing damage to their opponents&#8217; records, the injuries started doing damage to their lineup. Luis Robert and Eloy Jimenez went down with injuries, but both are hopeful at returning this year. To make matters worse, it didn\u2019t help that old-school manager <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.southsidesox.com\/2021\/5\/19\/22443584\/white-sox-the-last-straw-for-tony-la-russa\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tony LaRussa found himself making headlines<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for all the wrong reasons. We won\u2019t dive too heavily into the details, but we will say two things. One, baseball\u2019s ancient unwritten rules are stupid and two, as a manager, don\u2019t trash your young, talented players who are winning you ballgames. It\u2019d take a catastrophe to see things go south for the White Sox, and LaRussa\u2019s style doesn\u2019t do anything to help those odds. But don\u2019t count on it. This team is good, just like their northern counterparts.
