Cubs embrace Wrigley's chaos to extend streak, sweep D-backs
CHICAGO – The Cubs have learned to embrace some of the chaotic environment of Wrigley Field, trying to use the elements to their advantage at times. Take a day like Sunday, when the wind had the flags rattling the poles around the ballpark as it howled out and toyed with fly balls.
After the initial shock of experiencing Wrigley regularly for the first time a few years ago, Cubs manager Craig Counsell has since preached trying to turn the unpredictability into a strength. And in an 8-4 win over the D-backs on Sunday afternoon, the North Siders offered a glimpse into how they are owning their territory right now.

Sunday afternoon at Wrigley Field, Moisés Ballesteros homered and Michael Busch smacked a bases-loaded triple. That, plus six solid innings from Matthew Boyd, helped the Cubs to an 8-4 win over the Diamondbacks, a series sweep and their 11th consecutive win at home.
Arizona scored first, in the top of the second inning, their first lead of the series. Nolan Arenado doubled with one out and one out later, Gabriel Moreno smacked a home run for a 2-0 lead.
The Cubs chipped away in the second. After the first two Cubs struck out, Busch popped a ball into short center that dropped among three D-backs fielders. Those guys are likely going to be very happy to get out of playing outdoors in the wind. Busch’s ball went for a double.
