The Atlanta Braves and the host Cubs will play the rubber match of their three-game series on Sunday in Chicago.

The Cubs answered an 8-0 setback in the series opener Friday with an 8-6 victory Saturday. Chicago scored five runs in the first inning en route to recording its 12th win in the last 15 games.

"It felt good to be able to come out aggressive like that, put some runs on the board, because they've got a great team over there, obviously," Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson told Marquee Sports Network in his post-game interview.
