The Chicago Cubs are on an absolute tear, and they’re not slowing down anytime soon. With a dominant 7-1 victory over the Texas Rangers, the Cubs have now won 10 straight games—and they’re waking up this morning with the best record in all of baseball.

This win wasn’t just another notch in the streak; it was a showcase of the team’s “next man up” mentality in action. When starting pitcher Matthew Boyd went down with a knee injury this week, the Cubs called on Ben Brown to fill in. Brown, making his first start of the season, exceeded all expectations. Originally slated to go no more than three innings, he instead no-hit the Rangers through four frames, keeping the Texas lineup off balance and giving his team a chance to build momentum.

And build momentum they did. Michael Busch delivered a bases-clearing double, and Seiya Suzuki crushed his seventh home run of the year in the fourth inning, extending the Cubs’ streak to seven consecutive games with at least one homer. Ian Happ also contributed with an RBI single early on, setting the tone for a well-rounded offensive performance.

But the story here goes beyond just one game. The Cubs are making history. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, this team is now just the fifth in MLB history to have multiple winning streaks of at least 10 games before their 40th decision of a season. That’s an elite group that includes the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers, the 1941 St. Louis Cardinals, and two other historic squads. Even more impressive, the Cubs are only the sixth team ever to have two such streaks separated by just three or fewer games—a feat previously achieved by the legendary 1906 Cubs and the 1955 Dodgers, among others.

And here’s a stat that will make any Cubs fan’s heart skip a beat: the Cubs are the first team in MLB history to have two separate 10-plus-game winning streaks and a 15-plus-game home winning streak—all before the end of May. We are witnessing something special, and it’s the kind of history every fan dreams of.

With the Braves and Yankees both losing, the Cubs now stand alone atop the baseball world. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just love a good underdog story, this team is proving that depth, resilience, and a relentless team-first attitude can carry you a long way. The streak is alive, and the Cubs are showing no signs of slowing down.
