The Cubs had their five-game winning streak snapped with a 5-3 loss against the White Sox on Sunday. Despite being in fourth place in its own division, Chicago has the second-best run differential in the NL at +54 (Braves, +56).

The Braves and Cubs will play one make-up game at Wrigley Field, then transition play to Atlanta on Tuesday for a three-game series. These two teams split their first two games this season, including a 14-10 Cubs' victory in which Chicago scored 12 consecutive runs to comeback from a 10-2 deficit to win.

In his last three starts, Jose Quintana is 2-1 with a 0.53 ERA and a .197 batting average against in 17.0 innings. Quintana was roughed up on April 14 in a no-decision against Atlanta, allowing seven earned runs in 2.1 innings.

In two starts since leaving a game early with right trapezius tightness, Julio Teheran has not allowed a run and has struck out 13 batters compared to just two walks in 13.0 innings. In seven career starts against the Cubs, Teheran has a 3.09 ERA and has limited Chicago hitters to a .199 batting average.

Ender Inciarte has hit a home run in two consecutive games and has four multi-hit games in his past five games played. Inciarte leads MLB with 17 stolen bases this season.

ATLANTA -- Yu Darvish has been slightly worse on the road than at home this season, but by holding the right-hander back to face the Braves in Atlanta, the Chicago Cubs avoided risking their key offseason acquisition getting booed again at Wrigley Field.
Darvish, hardly living up to his six-year, $126 million contract so far, takes an 0-3 record and 6.00 ERA into his return from the 10-day disabled list Tuesday night as the Cubs open a three-game series at SunTrust Park.

Struggling Darvish gets start for Cubs in Atlanta

ATLANTA (AP)  Willson Contreras threw one away, then made the tag at home plate to keep the Braves off the scoreboard in the very first inning.
Turns out, the Chicago catcher was just getting warmed up.
