That’s an extra-inning loss … And now it’s time to face Max Scherzer.
Here’s a look at the Cubs lineup for the second-half of the double-header against the Mets at Wrigley Field.
Chicago Cubs Lineup:
- Rafael Ortega, CF
- Ian Happ, LF
- Seiya Suzuki, RF
- Nico Hoerner, SS
- Frank Schwindel, DH
- Patrick Wisdom, 3B
- Alfonso Rivas, 1B
- Yan Gomes, C
- David Bote, 2B
SP: Drew Smyly, LHP
Frank Schwindel is still in the lineup tonight, but he’s the DH, with Alfonso Rivas at first base. And with Yan Gomes at catcher, Willson Contreras gets the night off.
David Bote is the second baseman, Nico Hoerner is at short, and it’s the usual suspects everywhere else.
As usual, we’ll have your full Pre-Gamin’ post closer to game time (7:05 CT).
