Pitching matchup: The Cubs will have Jameson Taillon (0-2, 6.66 ERA) on the mound against Aaron Nola (3-3, 4.53 ERA).

Pregame notes:

From Cubs notes: Christopher Morel has scored at least 1 run in each of his first 9 games with the Cubs this season. Since 1900, the only other Cubs player to do that is Hank Sauer in 1954 (13 games).
