Chicago Cubs Lineup:
- Anthony Rizzo, 1B
- Kris Bryant, 3B
- Jason Heyward, RF
- Javy Baez, 2B
- Willson Contreras, C
- Kyle Schwarber, LF
- Albert Almora Jr., CF
- Addison Russell, SS
- Mike Montgomery, P
The Greatest Leadoff Hitter of All Time, Anthony Rizzo, went 1-2 with 3 walks in the first half of today’s double-header and he’ll keep the fun going tonight. He’s been leading off a heckuva lot lately, and I couldn’t be happier about it.
Jumping into tonight’s game is Kris Bryant, Willson Contreras, Albert Almora, and Addison Russell. They sat out of the first game partially because of the double-header, but also because of Luke Weaver’s splits. Tonight’s starter, John Gant, doesn’t have very significant lefty/righty splits, but all of the Cubs regulars are getting the call tonight.
As usual, we’ll have your full Pre-Gamin’ closer to game time (6:15 CT).
