The Cubs have a full day of ball on tap at Wrigley Field with a day-night doubleheader against the Brewers. Joe Maddon’s team begins play Tuesday with a 12-game lead in the NL Central over the Cardinals. The Redbirds will spend the next two days in Houston.
Trevor Cahill and Mike Montgomery are scheduled to pitch in game one (12:20pm CDT) against Matt Garza. And Jason Hammel takes on Chase Anderson in the nightcap (7:05pm CDT).
Jason Hammel has quieted his critics since the break with five excellent performances.
