The Cubs will be looking for their first sweep of the season in only their second series. Of course, the Rockies have looked like a dumpster fire so far this year, but getting wins in games the Cubs should win will be critical on the path to clinching a spot in the playoffs.
On the mound for the Cubs and playing the role of opener tonight, will be LHP Luke Little. He’s pitched in two games so far this season over the same number of innings, with one strikeout and no earned runs. Ideally, Little will be able to go two innings before handing the ball to RHP Ben Brown.
