All was right with “Cub Nation” at Wrigley last night when they evened up the three-game Washington to take on the rival Nationals.

Getting the call in the third and final game of the series will be right-hander Radhames Liz for his fifth start of the season. He enters this afternoons start 1-0 on the year with a lofty 6.27 ERA and 1.34 WHIP allowing 16 hits and 13 runs with a K/BB ratio of 14/9 in 18+ total innings of work. Even though he sports a lofty ERA, the O’s have won three of his four starts this year, and they’re 2-1 when he’s toed the bump as a visitor. This fly ball pitcher got roughed up in his last outing at Milwaukee where he got rocked for five runs and four hits in just two innings of work. He’ll have his work cut out for him in this spot if the winds blowing out against a potent Cubbies offense.

Opposing the Dominican will be Cubs right-hander Jason Marquis who will be making his first back-to-back Wrigley starts since the beginning of May. He enters his turn in the rotation 6-3 overall with a 4.43 ERA and 1.48 WHIP. He’s allowed 89 hits and 43 runs (40 earned) while striking out 41 and issuing 31 free passes in 81+ innings of total work. Jason has really turned it around of late evidenced by his body of work over his last five starts. He’s 3-0 with a solid 2.66 ERA and 0.93 WHIP over his L/3 starts allowing a total of seven runs and 15 hits in just over 20 innings of work. The Cubs have won five of his seven home starts this year, and that number could increase with Baltimore hitting a paltry .238 on the road vs. righties this season.
