Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee Brewers preview, Sunday 5/5, 1:20 CT

Sunday notes…

ABOUT LEADS: In 11 of the Cubs’ 20 wins, their margin of victory was equal to their largest lead of the game, and they won those games by a total of 41 runs. In the nine other wins, including yesterday, they won by fewer runs than their largest lead, finally prevailing by a combined 24 runs after having held largest leads that added up to 45. In eight of their 14 losses, they held leads, with their biggest leads adding up to 24 runs. They lost the games by a combined 22. They never led in six games, which they lost by a total of 28 runs.

ABOUT WINNING, MOSTLY BECAUSE OF THE STARTERS: The Cubs have not lost more than two games in a row this season. In the last 20 games since April 14th, Cubs starting pitchers have a 2.76 ERA.
THE MOREL FILES: Christopher Morel, last six games since April 29 (basically, this past week): .227/.320/.773 (5-for-22) with four home runs, eight RBI and three walks.
HEATING UP AFTER A COLD STRETCH: Michael Busch, last three games: 5-for-13 (.385) with two doubles and a triple (shown above). Busch is one of nine Cubs to have exactly one triple this year. The other eight: Miguel Amaya, Cody Bellinger, Ian Happ, Nico Hoerner, Christopher Morel, Dansby Swanson, Patrick Wisdom and the since-departed Garrett Cooper.

Here are today’s particulars.

Cubs lineup:

Brewers lineup:

Javier Assad, RHP vs. Freddy Peralta, RHP

Rick Scuteri-USA TODAY Sports

Javier Assad has quietly turned himself into one of the best pitchers in MLB. Nothing flashy, he just gets outs. He’ll never be a big strikeout pitcher but… who cares, he just gets outs!

Assad made two relief appearances vs. Milwaukee last year, one at the very beginning of the season, one at the very end. I don’t think either one is representative of what Assad can do now.

The Cubs have had trouble with Freddy Peralta in the past. He’s got a career 3.34 ERA and 1.146 WHIP against them in 15 appearances (10 starts).

Ian Happ has an odd line vs. Peralta — 1-for-20, but the one hit is a home run. Also four walks. The only other Cub with more than a handful of PA vs. Peralta is Nico Hoerner, who’s 3-for-13 with two doubles.

Today’s game is on Marquee Sports Network. You can find out if Marquee is available via a provider in your area here.

Staying safe during extreme heat

What you can do:

Stay cool

Limit outdoor activities, especially during the hottest part of the day.
Spend time in air-conditioned buildings whenever possible such as libraries, shopping centers, or community centers.
If you have an air conditioner, make sure it is installed and working properly.
Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing.
Take cool showers or baths, or use cool, wet towels to lower body temperature.
Fans may provide comfort but should not be relied upon as the primary cooling method during extreme heat.

Stay hydrated

Drink water regularly, even if you do not feel thirsty.
Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine, which can contribute to dehydration.
Encourage children, older adults, and others at higher risk to drink fluids throughout the day.

Protect yourself and others

Never leave children, older adults, or pets unattended in vehicles. Temperatures inside a parked vehicle can become deadly within minutes.
Check on older neighbors, family members, and others who may need assistance staying cool.
Many public cooling sites are located along Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) routes. Visit RideMCTS.com for transit information.
