Anthony Rizzo leads off at first base, Kris Bryant bats second in left, and Ian Happ is in center batting third. Javy Báez is at short, Jason Heyward is in right, Patrick Wisdom is at third, Eric Sogard is at second, and PJ Higgins is the catcher.
Kyle Hendricks is on the mound and he’ll need to be at his best in order for the Cubs to escape San Francisco with a win. The ace has been much better after a slow start, but he’s still shown a propensity for allowing homers. He’s been able to get away with it because they’re mainly solo shots, now the offense just needs to make sure he doesn’t have to be perfect.
