Matthew Boyd (1-1, 5.79 ERA) takes the mound for the Cubs, who will look to end a two-game losing streak that followed their eight-game winning streak. His last time out, Boyd was solid but unspectacular, going 4.2 innings, allowing five hits and two earned runs, striking out five in a 7-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Chicago has been getting surprise contributions on offense from 22-year-old Moises Ballesteros, who is hitting .397 with four home runs through 58 at-bats.

Randy Vasquez (2-0, 1.88 ERA) will start for the Padres as they try to catch the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West. While Vasquez only has two wins to show for it, the Padres have done very well in his starts, winning all five. His most recent outing was his best of the season, as he pitched seven innings, allowing just three hits while striking out five, resulting in a 1-0 win on the road over the Colorado Rockies.
