The Cubs walked all over the Red Sox in the series opener and now they’re looking for another win to run their streak to five games. It’s going to be even more of a youth movement in this one as Ben Brown takes the mound for his third MLB start and seventh overall appearance. He’s only logged three total innings in his last two outings, so maybe don’t expect him to go deep this afternoon.
Nico Hoerner leads off at second, Mike Tauchman is in right, Ian Happ is in left, and Christopher Morel is at third. Michael Busch is at first, Dansby Swanson plays short, Matt Mervis is the DH, and Yan Gomes is catching.
