Tonight's Matchups

Sean Marshall takes the mound for the Cubs tonight while Aaron Harang will be his counterpart for the Reds.

Despite Harang being 6-1 with a 4.23 career era against the Cubs, we've hit him pretty well, including scoring 5 runs off him in 4 innings at Wrigley Field this year. Derrek Lee, Cliff Floyd, Matt Murton, Jacque Jones, Ryan Theriot, and Mark DeRosa all have hit Harang at a .300 or better clip in their careers. Lee, Aramis Ramirez and Murton have hit 2 home runs each off Harang.

Marshall has never faced the Reds. The onlyReds hitter who has faced Sean Marshall before is Jeff Conine, who is 1-2 with a single.

The Brewers have already helped out the Cubs today by blowing a two run lead in the ninth in game 1 of a doubleheader vs the Cardinals. Cards won it 7-6 when Ryan Ludwick singled home Scott Rolen in the bottom of the ninth. Chris Capuano faces 0-10 Anthony Reyes in the nightcap.
