With the righty Robert Stephenson on the mound tonight, the Cubs are loading the lineup with lefties. Each of Jason Heyward (he’s usually in there anyway, but you know), Miguel Montero, and Chris Coghlan grab the starts.
Addison Russell is also getting a breather tonight, as Javy Baez slides over to shortstop and bats sixth in the order. We’ll have a full Pre-Gamin’ for you closer to game time.
