It wasn’t easy, or pretty at the end, but the Cubs held on to a ninth-inning lead and defeated the Angels 4-3, sweeping the three-game series. It’s the team’s first sweep since they swept the Guardians at Wrigley Field July 1-3, and their first on the road since they swept the A’s in Sacramento — back in April! The win moves the Cubs to a season-high 21 games over .500.
