The Chicago Cubs set a new franchise record Tuesday by scoring their 30th unanswered run over a three-game stretch, breaking the previous mark of 29 set in 1969. The streak began Sunday when Chicago fell behind early against the Seattle Mariners but rallied for a 19-2 victory. Chicago extended the run-scoring surge with a 7-0 shutout of the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday.

Tuesday's contest saw the Cubs build a 4-0 lead before ultimately losing 5-4. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, this achievement ties the 1876 record and the 1969 mark, but represents a modern-era milestone. The previous 1969 streak included shutout wins over the San Francisco Giants and a 19-0 blowout of the San Diego Padres.

The Cubs' offensive explosion highlights their potent hitting lineup during this historic stretch.
