The host Chicago Cubs will compete for a sweep of Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday after showing the crimes of the Grand League leader in the first two games of the series.
Cubs gathered Six Homer in the first two matches in 13-11 and 6-2 victories and scored 143 runs in the biggest leagues in the first 23 matches.
Seiya Suzuki grumbled for the second flat match for Cubs, which was crushed for 10 rounds on Saturday on Friday.
“Seiya has a lot of power, Cub Cubs manager Craig Counsell said. He continued: “He hits the ball very hard. As if he feels a little better job to take a step and drive.
Arizona’s Merrill Kelly (3-1, 5.57 ERA) will oppose Chicago’s Jameson Taillon (1-1, 5.40) in a right-hand war on Sunday. The pups won four of six games in the season series that ended Sunday. Each team took 40 rounds in the first six games.
CUBS first master Michael Busch made five strokes in the first two games of the series and followed Suzuki’s Homer with one of Saturday.
“He’s a good striker, C Counsels Busch said. “He’s a young striker. The purpose is to learn from them with the appearance of 500 plates under your belt and be a little better than them. Understand that you need to be a little better.”
Leadoff Man Corbin Carroll continues to carry Diamondbacks, the second master Ktel Marate for two weeks.
Carroll extended the hit series to 12 games with three hits, including one Homer on Saturday, and reached its base in 21 games this season.
“I’m not trying to hit Homers,” Carroll, who was seven, said. “I’m just trying to hit the balls hard and some go out.”
After the Diamondback lost on Friday, he revised their Bullpen. Left Fifty Aj Puk, who has four rescues at the height of the team, was placed on the wounded list with left elbow inflammation before the match on Saturday.
When Joe Mantiply and Bryce Jarvis were selected to Triple-A Reno, Drey Jameson, JP Feyereisen and Juan Morillo were added.
Kelly and Taillon will meet the second time this season. They opposed each other on March 28 in the second competition of a four -game set in Phoenix.
Kelly danced around the problem and took his first victory and left a run in 5 1/3 Inning, although he allowed seven presidents.
Taillon wasn’t so lucky. Eugenio Suarez, Taillon fifth place when one was removed D-Backs 4-1 leading 4-1 ahead.
Kelly made two straight quality start and this season was the most effective start. It is 3-1 against Cubs in seven careers.
Taillon, 5.24 ERA in four careers against Arizona with 1-2.
