Game Preview

After a needed day off Thursday led to an impressive win Friday, the Chicago Cubs hope to continue their playoff push by completing a series win over the host Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday afternoon.

Behind a career-high seven innings from right-hander Javier Assad in his third start of the season and a two-run home run by Cody Bellinger, the Cubs took the opener of the three-game series 6-2 over the Blue Jays on Friday night.

The Cubs appreciated the day off Thursday after playing games on 16 consecutive days.The day away also gave the bullpen a break. Five of the Cubs’ previous seven games before Friday were decided by two runs or fewer.
