Cubs vs Reds Series Preview (September 16-18): TV and Game Info, Starting Pitchers, Insights

Almost everything went right for the Cubs in their three-game sweep of the Pirates. The one thing that didn’t go right could be potentially huge, however, as Anthony Rizzo suffered an ankle injury that forced him to leave Sunday’s win.

The injury dampened the mood after what had been a record-setting weekend. Chicago outscored Pittsburgh 47-15, which just so happens to be the most runs the North Siders have scored in a three-game set since at least 1900. A slightly more challenging foe, the Cincinnati Reds, comes to Wrigley for their own three-game series beginning Monday.
