The Cubs lineup had a bit of a different look Friday, going up against White Sox right-hander Adrian Houser, who is in the midst of the best season of his career.
Switch-hitting Vidal Bruján got the start at third base over Matt Shaw, and left-handed hitting Reese McGuire started behind the plate.
“We’re just putting the left-handed hitters in the lineup today, based on Houser’s historical stuff,” manager Craig Counsell said before the game. “Just favors left-handed hitters.”
Shaw has been on a hot streak out of the All-Star break.
