Angels

 The Angels are coming off a three-game sweep over the Brewers and are the only undefeated team in interleague play this season. The Cubs lost two of three to the Rangers to open their 2019 season, but went 13-7 in interleague play in 2018, tied for third in MLB.

 The Cubs won two of three over the Pirates at Wrigley after beginning the season with three series losses on the road. Since the beginning of last season, the Cubs' 17-6-6 series record at Wrigley is the second-best home series record in the NL, trailing only the Brewers (18-7-3).

 The Angels are on a six-game winning streak, tied with two other AL West teams (Astros, Mariners) for MLB's longest active streak. The Angels only had one longer winning streak last season (seven straight from April 8-14).

 Cole Hamels has held the Angels to a .188 BAA over his career, fourth lowest all-time against the franchise behind Hank Aguirre (.176), James Paxton (.178) and Nolan Ryan (.181) (minimum 10 starts).

 Jason Heyward leads the Cubs in hits (13), runs (11) and stolen bases (three) in 2019. He, Cody Bellinger and Whit Merrifield are the only players leading their teams in all three categories this season.

 Tommy La Stella makes his return to Wrigley today. He ranks second on the Angels in home runs (three) and RBI (seven) this season. He ranked 14th and 13th in those categories, respectively, for the Cubs last season (one home run, 19 RBI).

Cubs

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras followed Friday's two-home run game against the visiting Los Angeles Angels with a 1-for-5, three-strikeout day on Saturday.
As the Cubs aim for an interleague series victory in Sunday's matinee, the young, excitable backstop is working to stay calm and collected no matter how he fares. Contreras knows the team needs him to be steady as it works to dig out of early-season struggles.
