The Phillies went 3-0 on the road against the Cubs in 2015, outscoring them 21-8. It was one of two road series that Philadelphia swept last season (3-0 at SD).

With its 9-8 win over St. Louis on Wednesday, Chicago moved to 6-6 (.500) in one-run games this season. Philadelphia, meanwhile, is a league-best 14-4 (.778) in games decided by a single run.

Odubel Herrera has all four of the Phillies' home runs by players hitting first in the lineup this season. Philadelphia got just three homers from players hitting in the No. 1 slot in 2015 (one each by Herrera, Chase Utley & Darnell Sweeney).

Ben Zobrist has had a big month of May, batting .422 with five home runs and 21 RBI. He is batting .435 (20/46) during his current 12-game hitting streak, which is the longest active one in the NL.

Adam Morgan has had little trouble in the first three innings of his starts so far in 2016 (1.20 (2/15.0) ERA, 0 HR, 2 BB, 11K), but the fourth and fifth innings have been major trouble for him (16.43 (14/7.2) ERA, 2 HR, 6 BB, 3 K).

Jon Lester is undefeated in his six career starts against the Phillies, going 4-0 with a 1.76 (8/41.0) ERA and .205 (30/146) opponent average in these appearances. Lester has made 6+ career starts versus 18 MLB teams; of those 18 clubs, the Phillies and Reds (2-0) are the only ones yet to defeat Lester.

The Chicago Cubs are hitting with authority again following a temporary slump. It's a trend John Lackey would like to see continue.
Chicago hopes to provide Lackey with the support he hasn't had lately when the NL leaders attempt to sweep the offensively challenged Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday.
