The Chicago Cubs host the Boston Red Sox on Sunday in the rubber match of both teams' first series since the All-Star break.
Following an 8-3 loss on Friday in which five different Boston batters homered, Chicago evened the series on Saturday with a 10-4 romp.
Cubs All-Star left-hander Justin Steele looks to pitch Chicago to the series win on Sunday. Steele has won in each of his last three starts in which he earned a decision, though his most recent outing -- a six-inning appearance on July 5 at National League Central rival Milwaukee -- was a no-decision.
Right-hander Kutter Crawford will take the mound for Boston for his first career appearance against the Cubs. Boston aims to bounce back from its first loss since July 4. The Red Sox had won six straight games prior to Saturday's setback.
