Cubs Fight Back After Tough Loss
The Cubs came into Saturday's game hungry for revenge. They hammered the Giants 5-1 yesterday, with big bats everywhere. Busch launched a three-run rocket to right field. The Cubs' pitching staff stayed solid. Now they want to wrap up this series with another win. Ryan Rolison takes the mound for Chicago today. The Cubs know they can score runs. They've proven it the last two games. This is your chance to see the Cubs' powerful lineup in action.
Webb Leads Giants' Bid to Bounce Back
Logan Webb is the Giants' ace. He's been named an All-Star twice. The right-hander is tough on the mound. Webb's durability keeps San Francisco in games. His ERA sits at about 4.74 this season. The Giants are 28-42 and need wins badly. They're struggling to climb out of the standings. Webb's job today is simple: shut down the Cubs' lineup. If the Giants can get strong pitching, they stay in the fight.
Seiya Suzuki Injury Tests Cubs' Depth
Suzuki exited Saturday's game with right knee problems. He's dealing with the same knee he hurt before. This is a big problem for Chicago's lineup. The Cubs have great batting depth though. They can still score runs without him. Rolison will need to keep Giants' hitters quiet. San Francisco is struggling badly this year at 28-42. The Cubs should feel confident about their chances. Defense and pitching will decide this game today.
