 The Cubs are 4-3 against the Reds in 2020, with all seven games played in Cincinnati. Chicago averaged 6.6 runs and 2.7 home runs in those seven games

 The Cubs had lost three in a row before Monday's 5-1 win over St. Louis. They have allowed one or zero runs in 11 games this season, third most in the majors behind Cleveland (13) and Atlanta (12).

 Cincinnati split a four-game set with the Pirates over the weekend, the Reds' MLB-high seventh series split of the year. They've won two series (t-third fewest in MLB) and lost five.

 Eugenio Suarez hit four homers in the Pittsburgh series, including his first career three-homer game in Saturday's 6-2 win. Suarez's 95 home runs since the start of the 2018 season rank second only to Mike Trout (99).

 Tyler Mahle has held left-handed batters to a .155 batting average this year (9/58), fifth best among MLB right-handers with at least 50 lefties faced.

 Ian Happ currently leads the majors with a 1.079 OPS. The only Cubs in the modern era to lead MLB in the category are Rogers Hornsby in 1929 (1.139) and Derrek Lee in 2005 (1.080).

HP - Tichenor, 1B - Segal, 2B - Kulpa, 3B - Gonzalez

The Chicago Cubs will look to build on their lead in the National League Central when they host the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night to open a three-game series.
Chicago (24-18) enters the game with a 2 1/2-game lead over the second-place St. Louis Cardinals, a 4 1/2-game edge over the third-place Milwaukee Brewers and a 5 1/2-game advantage over the fourth-place Reds. The division's top two teams are guaranteed playoff berths.

Cubs hope to pad Central lead against Reds

CHICAGO (AP)  Alec Mills watches Yu Darvish and Kyle Hendricks pitch, and he wants to help carry the load for Chicago's rotation.
He certainly did his part Tuesday night.
