The Cubs picked up a win against the A’s yesterday, and now have a matchup against the Giants. Team USA isn’t playing today, so there’s no conflict for those who want to watch this one. Those who tune in will get a look at hard-throwing reliever Hunter Harvey, who stands out as a departure from their normal bullpen construction strategy.
The lineup feature mostly regulars, with Michael Busch at first, Nico Hoerner at second, Ian Happ in left, and Dansby Swanson at short. Michael Conforto handles the DH role, Moisés Ballesteros is behind the plate, Matt Shaw is in right, and Dylan Carlson is in center.
