Pre-Gamin’: Cubs at Yankees (12:35 CT) – Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread

The Cubs have already dropped the first two games in New York, but the series doesn’t get any easier this afternoon.

Keegan Thompson is taking the mound for Chicago, following a disaster outing against the Orioles in Baltimore. And he’ll square up against Jameson Taillon, who’s having one heck of a season (2.73 ERA).
