The Cubs are the second team in MLB history to win one game by 15+ runs but then lose their next game by 15+ runs.
The other was the Boston Beaneaters from September 10-11, 1894 - a 25-8 win followed by a 17-2 loss, both in Chicago against the Colts (the modern-day Cubs).
The Cubs are the first team in MLB history to win by 20+ and then lose by 10+ in consecutive games
One team has done the opposite, losing by 10+ then winning by 20+:
The Yankees lost by 13 on 06/18/2000 and then won by 21 on 06/19/2000

From last night, FWIW, the Cubs are the first team in MLB history to win at least 15 in a row at home and then lose their next 8 in row at home. Unfriendly Confines these days.
NASCAR held an industry call Friday morning after Kyle Busch's passing to discuss the weekend at Charlotte. Mike Forde, on Hauler Talk, said Bubba Wallace chimed in with:
"He goes, 'Hey, OD, I think I have the perfect idea. To honor Kyle, I think what he would want is to raise the horsepower level this weekend by 100.'"
SHOCKING: A growing number of middle school athletes — mostly boys — are intentionally repeating 8th grade to delay their start in high school, giving themselves another full year to get bigger, stronger, and faster, which in turn dramatically boosts their chances at elite high school spots, college scholarships, and massive NIL deals potentially worth millions.
William La Jeunesse: “Of 8M high school students in sports only 7% will play in college.”
“On the other hand, the [likely] number one pick in this year’s NBA draft, [AJ Dybantsa], did 8th grade twice.”
