  "summary": "The Chicago Cubs have set a new franchise record by scoring 30 consecutive unanswered runs over three straight games, surpassing the previous record of 29 runs set in 1969. The streak began on Sunday when the Cubs rallied from a 2-0 deficit against the Seattle Mariners to win 19-2. They continued their impressive performance on Monday by blanking the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-0 and extended their lead to a 4-0 advantage in Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks. The previous record of 29 runs was achieved by the Cubs in 1876 and more recently in May 11-13, 1969, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. During that stretch, the Cubs shut out the San Francisco Giants 8-0 before going on to win the following two games against the San Diego Padres.",
