Pre-Gamin’: Cubs at Brewers (7:10 CT) – Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread

Zach Davies is on the mound tonight, coming off two pretty awful starts against the Giants and Pirates (combined): 6.0 IP, 12H, 11ER, 6BB, 4Ks. Oof.

With free agency quickly approaching, Davies is not doing himself any favors here at the end of the season. Perhaps he’ll have some more luck against the Brewers, who haven’t been a great offense against right-handed pitching this season (93 wRC+, 18th in MLB).

Go Cubs.
