The Cubs took the series opener at home 4-1 behind five innings of work from starting pitcher Colin Rea, in which he only gave up one run and struck out five. Nico Hoerner and Seiya Suzuki both homered as Chicago picked up the win despite having fewer hits in the ballgame.
The Red Sox send Brayan Bello to the mound to try and tie up the series, but he faces a difficult task with Cubs’ ace Shota Imanaga getting the start for the other side.
Bello has been solid this season, posting a 3.14 ERA and a 6-3 record, but Imanaga is one of the best in the sport, boasting a 2.65 ERA.
Wilyer Abreu will look to bounce back from a 0-4 day at the plate after hitting 18 home runs before the All-Star break. If he can add on to that count today, it will give his team a decent chance to pull off the win.
This is a great MLB matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
