Game 3 of the NLDS between the Chicago Cubs and Washington Nationals takes place at 4:00 pm ET today on TBS.
Wrigley Field will play host to the game which features Max Scherzer (16-6, 2.51 ERA, 268 K) and Jose Quintana (11-11, 4.15 ERA, 207 K) on the mound for their respective teams. Quintana was 7-3 with a 3.74 ERA after the Cubs acquired him in a trade from the crosstown Chicago White Sox. Scherzer is hoping the Nationals can win one of his NLDS starts after the club lost both a year ago.
These two teams split the first two games in Washington which was highlighted by the Nationals rally in Game 2 against the Cubs bullpen.
Of note: The Cubs return Kyle Schwarber and Jason Heyward to the lineup and Addison Russell gets the nod over Javy Baez at short with Ben Zobrist at second. Baez was 0-for-6 in the first two games.
