The Cubs pitched back-to-back shutouts to escape St. Louis with a split, and now they’re in Houston for a reunion of sorts. Not only is Kyle Tucker facing his old team for the first time, but Isaac Paredes and Cam Smith will face the organization that traded them three times combined. This is a big series for the Cubs because the Brewers are just three back in the division and get the luxury of hosting the Rockies for the weekend.
Cade Horton will take the mound for the opener as he looks to take another step forward in his development.
