The Cubs looked to win the “showdown” series with the San Francisco Giants on Sunday afternoon. John Lackey returned from the disabled list for his first start in a month at Wrigley. Johnny Cueto, the other half of the Giants one-two pitching punch, matched Lackey on the mound.
Chicago continued the sloppy play they had displayed on Saturday early in this one, as Jason Heyward made a rare error by dropping a Hunter Pence fly ball in the top of the 2nd.
