CHICAGO – At some point, the streak had to end.
Over the past two weeks, the Braves blazed through their schedule, ripping through pitching staffs as they overmatched lesser opponents. They won games — many of them easily — against clubs they were supposed to beat.
Their 14-game win streak ended Friday, when they lost to the Cubs, 1-0, at Wrigley Field. It was their first loss in June, and the streak was the franchise’s second-longest win streak since 1900.
