Former AL Cy Young Award winner Felix Hernandez will start at Wrigley Field tonight for the first time in his career when the Seattle Mariners take on the Chicago Cubs on Sunday Night Baseball (8 ET on ESPN). Brian Matusz, who will be called up from Triple-A Iowa, will make a spot start for the Cubs.
Here are some statistical storylines heading into the game.

Hernandez has fared well in his first start at historic venues. In 2007, he threw a shutout in his first start at Fenway Park and allowed just one earned run in seven innings in his first start at old Yankee Stadium that same season.
