The Marlins visit the Cubs on Friday afternoon in the first game of a four-game series
The Chicago Cubs and Miami Marlins get back on the field on Friday afternoon after having their game on Thursday postponed due to rain. The two teams will play a split doubleheader on Saturday, but first will get the series started with a matinee on Friday. The Cubs will send Jameson Taillon to the mound for his first start of the season. He began the season on the IL with a back issue. This is Taillon’s second season with the Cubs. Last year he went 8-10 with a 4.84 ERA, but he pitched better as the year went on. Friday he will look to help the Cubs get their second straight win and fourth in the last five games.

The Marlins, though, are looking to come to town and get a big road win and avoid a second straight loss.
The Marlins have not had a good start to the year as they lost their first nine games and come into Friday just 4-15 on the season.
They have yet to win a series this season, but they are looking to change that in Chicago. Friday they will turn to A.J. Puk on the mound in the opener. Puk has not been good this year as he comes into Friday 0-3 with a 5.91 ERA.
