It’s Wednesday, September 11th and tonight the Chicago Cubs (75-70) look to continue their march north in the standings when they take the field at Chavez Ravine with an eye on sweeping the LA Dodgers (85-59).

Last night the Cubs took their 2nd in a row against the Dodgers, knocking off LA 6-3 coming back from a 3-run deficit with 5 in the 8th. Shota Imanaga picked up his 13th win of the season after allowing 3 runs on 7 hits over 7 innings. Highly touted rookie Yoshinobu Yamamoto started the game for the Dodgers and went 4 innings allowing just one run. Seiya Suzuki went 3-5 last night driving in a run as well as scoring a run for the Cubs.
