The Cubs have another night game tonight, taking on the Brewers in game two of their four-game set. Lefty Paul Maholm makes his Cubs debut, facing fellow lefty Chris Narveson. It’s going to be a cold, breezy evening at Wrigley.
The Cubs’ lineup isn’t quite all right-handed, like you might expect against the lefty. Both David DeJesus and Ian Stewart draw the start, despite their poor splits against lefties (Stewart’s (career .738 OPS against lefties) aren’t quite as bad as DeJesus’s (.690) though).
