The Chicago Cubs will try to advance to the National League Division Series Wednesday, and they’ve revealed their lineup for Game 2.
The Cubs, who beat the San Diego Padres 3-1 in Tuesday’s Game 1, will run out the same lineup for Game 2 as they face San Diego Padres starter Dylan Cease Wednesday afternoon.
That includes Seiya Suzuki, who will bat fifth and play right field. He hit a solo home run in the fifth inning of Tuesday’s game to tie things up. That was followed by a home run by catcher Carson Kelly, who will bat sixth in Wednesday’s game.
Dansby Swanson, who went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Game 1, will bat eighth and play shortstop.
Here is the Cubs’ full lineup for Wednesday’s game:
1 Michael Busch – 1B
2 Nico Hoerner – 2B
3 Ian Happ – LF
4 Kyle Tucker – DH
5 Seiya Suzuki – RF
6 Carson Kelly – C
7 Pete Crow-Armstrong – CF
8 Dansby Swanson – SS
9 Matt Shaw – 3B
The Cubs will use an opener for Wednesday’s game, sending reliever Andrew Kittredge to the mound against Padres starting pitcher Dylan Cease.
First pitch is set for 2:08 p.m., and the game will air on ABC.
