Tuesday notes… • ROAD WARRIORS: The Cubs have won the first three games of their current nine-game road trip. They have won the first four in only two of their 161 previous trips of at least nine games since 2000. In 2003, they won four games at Milwaukee, then lost at St. Louis. In 2014, they won three at Boston, then won at Washington. They lost the next two, then dropped four in a row at Cincinnati.
