After striking out 11 times in a loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Monday, the Chicago Cubs have set a National League record with 58 whiffs through their first five games.

"Contact," hitting coach Chili Davis said with a smile. "We'd like to see a lot of good contact. There's some guys, you're not just going to turn them into contact-type hitters. I don't want them to lose their aggressiveness at the plate. We have too good of hitters for me to panic at all."

The Cubs, who struck out 20 times in a 17-inning game against the Miami Marlins on Friday, aren't panicking.

"There really isn't," Anthony Rizzo said. "We have a fun group. A good group. We're not going to ride the roller coaster as hard as everyone else outside."
