Worth noting

• Entering Sunday, the Cubs had 87 quality starts, tied for fifth-most in the National League behind the Braves (95), Reds (92), Dodgers (90), and Phillies (88). Chicago had 73 in 2012.

•Edwin Jackson made his 30th start Sunday against the Braves, marking the seventh consecutive season in which the right-hander has made at least 30 starts.

He became the fifth pitcher in the Majors with 30 starts in seven straight seasons, along with Cincinnati's Bronson Arroyo, Toronto's Mark Buehrle, Tampa Bay's James Shields and Detroit's Justin Verlander.

• According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Saturday's 3-1 Cubs victory over the Braves was the first nine-inning game at Wrigley Field in more than a year in which Chicago came back to win after trailing in the eighth. The last such win was Aug. 30, 2012, a 12-11 victory over the Brewers.
