The Cubs are back in first place, where they belong - a podcast by Locked On Podcast Network, Sean Sears, Ryan Davis

I'm back after missing out on Monday due to some power problems at home. But the good news is that the Cubs keep winning, taking 2-of-3 with the Pirates and winning Game 1 of a three-game set in Milwaukee. The latter victory vaults the Cubs into first place for the first time by themselves since 4/30. Jose Quintana was solid, while the offense did just enough to get it into extra innings. They pushed across five runs to win 7-2 in 11 innings, including an Anthony Rizzo home run.
What has happened to Kris Bryant lately? I'll talk about that briefly, as well as why the Cubs' latest surge in the standings is coming at just the right time. They can't afford to let the Brewers get away from them like they did last season. Also, how fun would a Cubs-Brewers or Cubs-Cardinals postseason series be in 2018? I finished out by updating the standings and noting which team currently has the best record in the National League.
