Phillies vs. Cubs Game 2 comes with very different moods. Chicago is rolling and looking strong at Wrigley, while Philadelphia arrives desperate to stop a six-game skid. That usually creates a fun kind of tension. Add two left-handers on the mound and a lively Wrigley crowd, and this matchup has plenty of intrigue tonight.
Here’s how to watch Tuesday night’s game:
Chicago has been one of the hotter teams early in the season, while Philadelphia badly needs a momentum shift before this slide gets any longer.
The Cubs hand the ball to Shota Imanaga, who has looked sharp to begin the year. The left-hander has done a strong job keeping hitters off balance and attacking the zone. He also faced Philadelphia recently and handled the matchup well, which should give Chicago confidence heading into this start.
The Phillies counter with Jesús Luzardo, who is looking for a bounce-back outing. Luzardo has swing-and-miss stuff and can be tough when his command is working, but consistency has been the challenge so far. Philadelphia will need him to settle in early and give the lineup a chance to reset the tone of this series.
