With their season on the line for a second straight night at Wrigley Field, the Cubs picked Matthew Boyd to get them off to a good start.
Boyd, who didn’t make it out of the first inning in Game 1 of the team’s NLDS matchup with the division-rival Brewers, was tabbed to start a win-or-go-home Game 4, which begins shortly after 8 p.m. Thursday on the North Side.
“I know what I’m going to do when the ball is in my hand. When that time comes [Thursday], I’ll be ready,” Boyd said after Wednesday’s series-extending Cubs win.
