The Reds and Cubs will send out the same pitchers they used against each other on May 6 in Wrigley Field. Matt Garza was on the wrong end of things against Edinson Volquez while defending his home field. So Volquez will be looking to do the same as his team and sweep a foe in a two-game set. Yea, false drama.
The Cubs made a few roster moves, sending Tyler Colvin and Marcos Mateo to Iowa and calling-up Scott Maine and Tony Campana. Maine was with the Cubs briefly in 2010 (93 mph fastball, 85 mph change, 80 mph curve) and adds a left-handed option to the bullpen.
