Chicago Cubs Lineup (5/1/21): Happ Leads Off, Wolters Catching, Davies Trying to Get Right

Ian Happ plays center and returns to the leadoff spot after a mental break as the Cubs try to even the series with the Reds. The white-hot Kris Bryant is in left, Javy Báez is at short, and Anthony Rizzo cleans up. David Bote is at second, Jason Heyward is in right, and Nico Hoerner is at second. Tony Wolters makes the start behind the plate in place of Willson Contreras, who left last night with a tight thigh.

Zach Davies has been tremendously disappointing through five starts, all of which have seen him allow at least two earned runs while walking at least two batters.
