The Cubs go for their fourth straight win on Saturday afternoon when they host the Diamondbacks

The Chicago Cubs look to stay hot on Saturday afternoon when they take on the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Cubs held on for a 6-5 win on Friday afternoon in the first game of the series and have now won three in a row and 13 of their last 16 games. The victory was their 20th of the season, and they now sit eight games over .500. The win was also their ninth in a row at home and Saturday they will look to clinch a series win over the Diamondbacks. They will send Shota Imanga to the mound in the middle game of the series. Imanaga has thrown well this season, but is coming off a tough start against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He gave up five runs on six hits in 5.1 innings. He didn’t get any run support, though, and the Cubs lost 6-0.
