The Chicago Cubs and Miami Marlins have both released their starting lineups for Wednesday night's game at Marlins Park. We already touched on Chicago's lineup earlier in the game preview, but we'll cover both teams here.
Chicago has a pair of bench players in the lineup as it mixes things up, with Reed Johnson playing right field and batting leadoff in place of David DeJesus and Jeff Baker spelling Bryan LaHair at first base.
#Cubs lineup @Marlins 4/18: Johnson RF, Barney 2B, Castro SS, Soriano LF, Baker 1B, Stewart 3B, Soto C, Byrd CF, Garza P

Otherwise, Chicago's lineup looks mostly normal. The Marlins have Donnie Murphy spelling Omar Infante at second base, but otherwise they have their full cast of starters as well.
Lineup vs CHC: Reyes SS, Bonifacio CF, Ramirez 3B, Morrison LF, Stanton RF, Sanchez 1B, Buck C, Murphy 2B, Buehrle P

Fans might be treated to a nice pitching duel if both Garza and Buehrle are at their best.
