Dodgers vs. Cubs: Former southpaw teammates face off on getaway day

The Dodgers go for their third win on as many getaway days in the series finale against the Cubs on Thursday afternoon at Wrigley Field in Chicago, a game featuring a pair of southpaws back after missing nearly all of last season.

Hyun-jin Ryu starts for the Dodgers, looking to last longer than the 4u2154 innings he pitched last Friday at Coors Field. He has a tall task ahead, as the Cubs have punished left-handed pitchers in the early going, hitting .373/.479/.542 in all of 71 plate appearances.

Brett Anderson gets the call for the Cubs, coming off a season that saw him pitch 11u2153 innings for the Dodgers, 6u2154 more than Ryu.
