Cubs Lineup

Kyle Schwarber returns to the lineup after a monster game Sunday against the Brewers in which he hit a grand slam and three-run home run. Schwarber finished the 11-4 win 3-for-3 with 2 home runs, 7 RBI and 4 runs scored. He hits seventh and plays left field for the Cubs Tuesday night.

Yu Darvish is on the mound for Chicago hoping to continue his hot pitching since the break. Darvish owns a 2.00 ERA and 21 strikeouts in 18 innings since the break, bringing his season stats to 3-4 with a 4.54 ERA.

Cardinals Lineup

St. Louis' big offseason acquisition, first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, has only just started to heat up of late. The veteran was a perennial All-Star in Arizona, and is producing well for the Cards in 2019. Goldschmidt is hitting .255 with 24 home runs and a .339 OBP, earning Player of the Week honors in the NL last week. He hits cleanup for St. Louis Tuesday night.

Adam Wainwright takes the hill for the Cardinals in a critical series opener. The right-hander is 7-7 this season with an underwhelming 4.63 ERA this season. He was lucky to pick up the win in his last start, as the offense exploded for 14 runs while he walked four and allowed four runs in a 14-8 win over Pittsburgh.
