Tonight at 8:05 p.m. ET, the New York Mets (28-29) and Chicago Cubs (20-34) open up a three-game set live from Wrigley Field in Chicago. The game can be live streamed here. New York fans can hear all of the action on WOR 710 while Chicago fans can do the same on 720 WGN.
New York continues its 11-game road trip after beating the Philadelphia Phillies in four out of five games to start it while Chicago kicks off a six-game homestand after going 4-6 on a 10-game road swing.
Zack Wheeler (2-5, 4.31 ERA) takes the mound for the Mets while Jake Arrieta (1-1, 3.20 ERA) toes the rubber for the Cubs.
Wheeler is coming off of a start where he lasted 6.1 innings and allowed just one run and four hits in a win over the Phillies.
"You're going to see nights like that out of him," manager Terry Collins said afterward via MLB.com. "He certainly has that ability, as we've seen in the past. He came into that reputation of dominating a game, and tonight he dominated this game."
The Mets have won six of their last seven games and seven of nine overall entering tonight.
The Cubs bullpen has improved over the last few weeks.
"They've settled in," Cubs manager Rick Renteria told MLB.com. "We've tried to at this point still put them in situations where we feel they're comfortable."
New York third baseman David Wright is fourth in the National League with 72 hits and is batting .296 with four homers and 32 RBIs.
Chicago first baseman Anthony Rizzo is tied for fourth in the NL with 38 walks and is batting .267 with 10 long-balls and 28 RBIs.
