Cubs Stay Hot, Sweep Doubleheader In Atlanta

Cubs Stay Hot, Sweep Doubleheader In Atlanta

ATLANTA - The 1984 season brings back memories both delicious and dreadful for Cubs fans, and now they have a companion piece to compare it to.

By sweeping Atlanta 10-2 and 8-0 Wednesday in a day-night doubleheader at Turner Field, the Cubs moved 26 games above .500 (73-47) for the first time since finishing 96-65 in '84.

They have won seven straight road games for the first time since June 2004, and are on pace to win 99 games, something they haven't done since winning 100 games in 1935.
