Cubs Look to Keep Streak Rolling

The Chicago Cubs (76-55) ride a three-game win streak into San Francisco Tuesday night as they take on the Giants.

Matthew Boyd (12-6, 2.61 ERA) will toe the rubber for Chicago against veteran Justin Verlander (1-10, 4.64 ERA). The Cubs have been hot, winning eight of their last 10 behind stellar pitching (2.70 team ERA during that stretch). Kyle Tucker has provided the offensive spark, homering three times in the last week.

San Francisco, meanwhile, has struggled at the plate (.220 average over last 10 games) but still packs pop, with Willy Adames and Casey Schmitt swinging hot bats.

Chicago enters the night 5.5 games behind Milwaukee in the NL Central and eager to keep momentum building in the playoff chase.
