The Chicago Cubs are looking to rebound from losing their last two games against the Milwaukee Brewers and get back on the winning track in Sunday's head-to-head. After Saturday's victory for the Brewers, it extends Milwaukee's winning streak against the Cubs to 10 games.
Jeff Samardzija will take the mound for Chicago Sunday, trying to avoid the sweep and give his team a little life against a squad that seems to have its number. The right-handed Samardzija, a 2006 draft selection by the Cubs, is 4-1 on the season with a 3.03 ERA. He'll face Milwaukee's Marco Estrada, who is 0-2 with a 4.5 ERA on the season.
