Ian Happ leads off in center as the Cubs try to close out their second series win to open the season. Eric Sogard bats and plays second while birthday boy David Bote gets the day off, Anthony Rizzo is at one corner, and Kris Bryant is at the other. Joc Pederson is in left, Javier Baez plays short, Jason Heyward is in right, and Tony Wolters is the catcher.
Kyle Hendricks was uncharacteristically wild in his first outing, walking the leadoff batter in the first two innings and allowing a single to lead off the 3rd before he walked the second hitter.
