Information © 2012 Chicago Cubs Media Relations Office

September 7, 2012 … PNC Park … Game No. 138 … Road Game No. 70 LHP Travis Wood (4-11, 4.64) vs. RHP A.J. Burnett (15-5, 3.63)

CENTRAL CASTING: The Chicago Cubs have arrived in Pittsburgh for their third and final series of the season in the Steel City … this three-game set represents the middle stop of Chicago’s 10-day, 10-game, three-city trip that started in Washington (0-4) and ends with three games in Houston starting on Monday. Starting tonight, the Cubs play their next 16 games and 19 of their final 25 contests against

National League Central opponents … the club’s lone stretch outside of the division is a six-game, two-city trip through Colorado (September 25-27) and Arizona (September 26-28).

The Cubs have dropped their last six games after winning four of eight from August 24-31.

SECOND TO NONE: Darwin Barney has gone an N.L. single-season record 122-straight games without an error at second base, surpassing David Eckstein’s mark of 113-consecutive games set with San Diego in 2010 … he is one game shy of equaling Ryne Sandberg’s overall N.L. record 123-game errorless streak – allowing for multiple seasons – that ran from June 21, 1989 through May 17, 1990 … thanks to Ed Hartig. The major league record single-season errorless streak by a second baseman is held by

Placido Polanco, who went 141 games without a miscue in 2007 for the Tigers (see chart below on far right … thanks to the Elias Sports Bureau).

Barney’s 122-game errorless streak at second base spans 982.1 innings since his only 2012 miscue at second base, April 17 in Miami.

500 CLUB: Starlin Castro is poised to soon gain membership in a very exclusive club as he enters tonight’s game two hits shy of 500 career major league hits at the age of 22 … only 27 players in major league history have reached their 500th career hit before turning 23-years-old, with the only active player being New York’s Alex Rodriguez … Castro turns 23 next March.

This elite group of 27 players includes the likes of Ted Williams, Hank Aaron, Al Kaline, Mickey Mantle, Jimmie Foxx, Robin Yount, Ty Cobb, Bobby Doerr, Johnny Bench, Orlando Cepeda and Ken Griffey, Jr. among others (thanks to Ed Hartig for his research assistance).

Since his major league debut on May 7, 2010, Castro leads all National League players with 498 hits … next closest is Ryan Braun with 490 hits.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY?: The Cubs are 4-10 in their last 14 games after managing only a total of four wins in their first 22 games after the trade deadline (July 31-August 22) … prior to the trade deadline, the Cubs went 19-10 in 29 games from June 25-July 30. The Cubs tonight play their 15th game of a stretch that sees the club play 20 games in a

row from August 23-September 12 without a day off … the club follows this stretch with a 10-day, 10-game homestand starting September 14.

RARE AIR: Alfonso Soriano is only the fourth player in franchise history, and the first in 59 years, to reach 25 home runs despite not hitting a homer prior to May 15, joining Bill Nicholson in 1943, Hank Sauer in 1949 and Ralph Kiner in 1953 … thanks to Ed Hartig. Overall, Soriano has reached 25 homers four times as a Cub (also done in 2007, 2008 and

2011) … he is just the 10th player with at least four 25-homer campaigns as a Cub (complete list on page 10 of the notes).

Soriano also has 11-straight 20 home run campaigns … he joins David Ortiz and Albert Pujols as the only sluggers to record 11-consecutive 20-home run seasons, including the 2012 campaign.

ELITE COMPANY: Alfonso Soriano is one of six players in major league history to reach at least 350 home runs, 400 doubles, 250 stolen bases, 1,000 RBI and 1,000 runs scored, joining Willie Mays, Andre Dawson, Gary Sheffield, Barry Bonds and Alex Rodriguez.

Soriano has joined Andre Dawson as the only two players in Cubs history to reach 20 home runs in each of his first six seasons with the club.

ROAD WOES: After posting a 4-3 road trip through Atlanta and New York just prior to the All-Star Break, the Cubs have lost 20 of their 23 games on the road since the All-Star Break, including 16 of their last 17 road contests since the start of August. The Cubs are 34-34 at Wrigley Field this season and 17-52 on the road, giving the club

twice as many wins at home than on the road in a near identical number of games.

ROSTER RAMBLINGS: The Cubs this year have utilized 52 different players, establishing a new single-season club record for players in a single season … the previous record of 51 players utilized in a single season was set by the 2000 club. The club has also now utilized 20 rookies in the 2012 campaign, their most since using 20

rookies in 1974 … of the 20 rookies used thus far, 11 have been pitchers, and two have made starts for the club – lefthanders Brooks Raley and Chris Rusin.

The Cubs have had 11 players make their big league debut this season, their most since 11 players made their big league debut in 2010.

ARMS RACE: Additionally, the Cubs have now used 29 pitchers this season, far surpassing the previous franchise mark of 25 pitchers used in a single season back in 1999.

FOUR SCORE AND … : The Cubs are 14 games above .500, posting a 40-26 record and a .606 winning percentage, in their 66 games when reaching at least four runs scored … however, the Cubs have scored three runs or less in 71 games this season, posting an 11-60 record and a .155 winning percentage when doing so … the Cubs have lost 19 consecutive games when scoring three runs or less dating to their 3-2 win vs. St. Louis on July 28.

WORKHORSE: Cubs reliever Shawn Camp is tied for the major league lead with 69 games pitched this year … he is on pace for 82 relief appearances, two shy of the single-season franchise mark, done by Ted Abernathy (1965), Dick Tidrow (1980) and Bob Howry (2006).

MARMOL-AID: Carlos Marmol has successfully converted his last 16 save opportunities dating to May 2, pitching to a 0.59 ERA (1 ER/15.1 IP) in those contests … he was successful in a career-best 18-straight save situations, August 21, 2010-April 2, 2011 – that included 17-straight converted save opportunities to close out the 2010 campaign.
