The Chicago Cubs went into Houston on a one-game losing streak and leave with a two-game winning streak.

The Cubs came off a disappointing series in Arizona where they allowed the worst offense in baseball to score seven and 10 runs, respectively, in two of the games and reeled in the Marlins of Florida, taking three of four. It looks like turning the calendar is just what the doctor ordered, with the Cubs now undefeated in three games for the month of May. Triple Play breaks down the Cubs first series victory in 15 days:
