Sappelt leads Cubs over Astros
HOUSTON – With 21 games left in this dreadful season, the Chicago Cubs are eyeing a magic number.
No, not the number playoff contending teams are looking at to seal their trip to the postseason. With 86 losses, this club is determined to avoid becoming the first Cubs team to lose 100 games since 1966.
On Monday night they moved a bit closer to that goal with a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros — owners of the only record in baseball worse than theirs.
