The Chicago Cubs are on fire, and they're looking to extend their winning streak to seven games as they face off against the Cincinnati Reds Tuesday night at 6:40 CT. If you're a Cubs fan, this is the kind of stretch that makes the long season worth it—and it's the perfect time to gear up in your favorite Cubs apparel to show your support.

Let's talk streaks. The Cubs have won 12 straight games at home, marking their 19th double-digit home winning streak in the Modern Era (since 1901) and their 15th at historic Wrigley Field. This is their longest such streak since they rattled off 14 in a row back in 2008. For context, the franchise record is 18 straight, set in 1935 during a pennant-winning surge. Only a handful of these streaks have reached 12 games—the 1927 streak ended with a thud in a 12-2 loss to the Phillies—but this Cubs team looks poised to keep rolling.

Zooming out a bit, the Cubs are 16-3 in their last 19 games, their best 19-game stretch since 2016, when they were on their way to a World Series title. That kind of hot streak is rare in baseball history, with only a handful of teams achieving it since the early 1900s. The Cubs have a rich history of dominant runs, and this team is adding its own chapter.

Now, about the Reds. This series marks the 83rd time the Cubs and Reds have met at Wrigley Field since the Central Division was formed in 1994. Before that, the two teams were in different divisions—a quirk of MLB scheduling that still boggles the mind. This is only the 17th series at Wrigley scheduled for more than three games, and the Cubs have a chance to make history. They swept a four-game set in 2018, their only sweep in these longer series, and went 3-1 in 2023. Can they do it again?

With the bullpen locked in and the bats heating up, the Cubs are a team to watch. Whether you're heading to Wrigley or cheering from home, now's the time to stock up on Cubs gear and be part of the excitement.
