The 72-68 Cubs welcome the 80-60 Yankees to complete the homestand. The Cubs lost two games against Pittsburgh and saw Justin Steele go to the IL, but also celebrated a combined no-hitter. Twenty-two games remain for the regular season. See below for matchups.
Game 141, Friday, September 6, 1:20 pm central
NYY: RHP Luis Gil (12-6, 3.39 ERA)
CHC: LHP Jordan Wicks (2-2, 3.82 ERA)
Gil made six starts for the Yankees in 2022 and one in 2023. He brings an upper nineties heater, the ability to miss bats, and somewhat spotty control. His changeup was not well regarded when he was a prospect, but he's using it more and effectively in 2024.
