Coming off a series opening win on Friday afternoon that kicked off the second half, the Diamondbacks would turn to ace Zac Gallen as he was looking to start off his second half a whole lot better than it ended (3 G, 13 IP, 20 H, 13 ER, 2 HR, 5 BB and 9 K w/ a 9.00 ERA). Opposing the snake’s ace would be the Cubs veteran starter and 2016 World Series fan favorite in Kyle Hndricks, who was coming off an impressive 7 IP, 0 R performance against St Louis his last time out before the break.
