The Chicago Cubs will go for a sweep of their three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates in a matinee Thursday at PNC Park.
The Cubs (22-14) have won three straight overall and four of five, and have been riding an explosive offense.
Chicago has belted 17 home runs in its past six games, which makes the one it got in Tuesday's 8-2 win, a three-run shot by Javy Baez, seem a little paltry.
It's not just power. The Cubs have banged out 22 hits and scored 16 runs through the first two games of this series.
