CHICAGO — There is at least one thing you can count on from what has been an inconsistent Cubs team in 2023.That's the fact that the group has always seemed to play their best on Fridays, and that trend continued on the last day of June. Led by another strong start by Justin Steele and productive offense, the Cubs raced by the Guardians 10-1 on a warm, humid afternoon at Wrigley Field. It stopped a four-game losing streak that dated back to their trip to London and made fans feel better after getting swept by the Phillies to start the homestand.

In the month of June, the Cubs won all four games on Friday, outscoring their opponents 25-7 in...
