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

Michael Cerami

May 14, 2022

The Cubs dropped the (kinda-)nationally televised opener against the Diamondbacks last night, and they’ve got a tough matchup against Zac Gallen tonight. The good news is that Kyle Hendricks is coming off one of the best starts of his entire career and expressed a belief that he was starting to figure some things out. Given the up and down (mostly down) nature of his season, and the other injuries and illness in the rotation, that would be an extremely welcomed development. Also, Seiya Suzuki is back!

7:10 start time for this one, back on Ye Olde Marquee.
