For the first time since 2017, the Red Sox will open a three-game series with the Cubs this afternoon (2:20 p.m. ET, NESN, MLB Network out of market). It is their first trip to Wrigley Field since 2012.
The Red Sox (43-33, 2nd AL East) just lost two-out-of-three in Toronto and send Rich Hill to the mound, making his 15th start of the season with a 4-4 record and a 4.09 ERA. Boston gets their full roster back, reinstating OF Jarren Duran and RP Tanner Houck from the restricted list. Duran is right back out there, leading off in center field.
