Miami is coming off a home, three-game sweep of the defending World Champion San Francisco Giants. The Marlins won the three games against the Giants by a total of four runs. It was the fourth time in franchise history that the Marlins have swept a series from the defending World Series champion: also September 24-26, 1996 vs. Atlanta (3 games), August 7-9, 2009 at Philadelphia (3 games) and May 24-26, 2011 at San Francisco (3 games).

The Cubs are coming off a three-game sweep at Citi Field against the New York Mets. It was Chicago's second three-plus game series sweep of the season, and both have come against the Mets. The Cubs won four straight versus New York at Wrigley Field from May 11-14. Miami has now won five straight games against NL East teams, and is 12-5 on the season against the NL East despite not scoring more than six runs in any of the 17 games.

Christian Yelich has at least one hit in all six career games at Wrigley Field, and is hitting .429 (12-for-28) with two home runs and four stolen bases in six career games on the Northside of Chicago.

Anthony Rizzo leads the Cubs in batting average (.297), doubles (24), home runs (15), runs batted in (45) and stolen bases (12). He is the only player in the majors leading his team in these five categories. In the live-ball era (since 1920), only three Cubs have led the team in these five categories over an entire season: Babe Herman -- 1933, Ernie Banks -- 1955 and Derrek Lee -- 2005.

Tom Koehler was 3-1 with a 2.93 ERA in June with a 23 strikeouts against only five walks. Koehler went at least 6.2 innings in all four June starts. Six of the 10 runs Koehler allowed in June came via five home run balls.

Jason Hammel's 2.92 ERA is a career best 15 starts into a season. His previous low ERA through 15 starts was last season with the Cubs when he had a 2.99 ERA through 15 starts. In 32 career starts with the Cubs, Hammel is 13-8 with a 2.95 ERA; In 170 other MLB starts, Hammel is 48-62 with a 4.85 ERA with Tampa Bay, Colorado, Baltimore and Oakland.

HP - Segal, 1B - Hudson, 2B - Holbrook, 3B - Gibson

The Chicago Cubs' run production is trending toward an alarming dependency on the home run, and that's usually not such a good thing against Mat Latos.
The Miami Marlins right-hander typically does a good job keeping the ball in the park, though that hasn't been the case in three starts leading into Sunday's decisive series finale at Wrigley Field.

Marlins-Cubs Preview

CHICAGO (AP)  Kris Bryant wasn't looking to go deep when he came up in the second inning Saturday night.
''You know, bases loaded, not trying to do too much,'' Bryant said.
