Like a crime?
Two of the most productive crimes in the National League will meet when Chicago Cubs hosts Arizona Diamondbacks to start the three -match series on Friday afternoon.
The puppies lead to Majors with 124 runs, 11 more from the leader New York Yankees. Diamondbacks are third in the main branches with 104.
It doesn’t end here. Puppies and diamonds are the second and third in NL in Homers behind Los Angeles Dodgers and leads NL with Cubs 29 stolen base.
The right-hand Corbin Burnes (0-1, 5.28 ERA) will begin for Diamondbacks, who won five flat and eights on Friday. The pups go with the right-hand Colin Rea (0-0, 1.00).
Chicago returns home after a six -game journey against Dodgers and Padres. In San Diego, they lost two of the three people, but after losing only the second series of loss and both games to Dodgers in Tokyo in mid -March.
“We will be resistance,” Cubs said Craig Counsell. “When you are tested on this issue, you cannot choose. There will be tests throughout the season. Ultimately, this night is about winning the game and turning the page and playing a good game no matter what the next day. I think we are wired to do this.”
Diamondback took 22 rounds with Miami’s three-game sweep and ended with 6-4 victory on Thursday, six stolen base, three of them Corbin Carroll and five hit.
“We were running all over the bases,” said his first base/DH Pavin Smith, two 11 -year -old homer, three walks and stolen base. “It was a great sweep for us. It’s good to start this journey well.”
Cleaning striker Josh Naylor grunted in Miami all three and Leadoff Man Carroll reached his base in all 19 matches this season.
Although Burnes has been increasingly better than his trips, he has been looking for his first victory with Diamondbacks at the beginning of the fourth beginning since he signed a six -year -old free agent agreement.
Burnes made the first quality of the season for the last time and on Saturday, Milwaukee’ya six strokes against four strokes gave up three runs. Diamondbacks did not make a decision in the 5-4 victory.
He missed the four-game series of teams between 27-30 March, but he is not stranger to CUBS after Milwaukee frequently encountered at NL Central. Burnes 2-5, 11 on the beginning of the start of 17 matches against CUBS’a 3.36 ERA with ERA. At the beginning of the last six (four quality start), it is 0-4 until 2022.
Dansby Swanson is 11 from Burnes with two Homer and six RBIs.
Rea will make its second start in four days for CUBS, looking for ways to cover up the lost innings when the left elbow injury ended last week last week.
On Sunday, one of the seven CUBS jugs in the game, the Rea fourth shot against Dodgers against Dodgers. He gave up a run and four strokes as he shot five. After spent 2022 in Japan, Rea was at the age of 18-12 with Milwaukee in 2023-24.
Ray does not gain or loss against Diamondbacks, including four career appearances, including all three beginnings, but rises to 6.91 ERA. 14 1/3 Inning gave 12 running (11) and 21 strokes. Carroll is 2 for 5 and three and three RBIs against Rea.
