Chicago Cubs Lineup: Almora Leads Off, Quintana Starts

The Cubs will be trying to cobble together their first win streak of the season as they face the surprisingly spry Marlins for the fourth time.

Albert Almora Jr. is leading off for the second time, which is due to both facing a lefty and Ian Happ’s struggles since that season-opening homer. Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo follow, but Addison Russell steps into the cleanup role in this one.

Kyke Schwarber hits fifth, Victor Caratini is catching and hitting sixth, Jason Heyward hits seventh, and Javy Baez hits eighth.

Jose Quintana makes his first start of the season and his first as a full-fledged member of the Cubs organization.
