Chicago Cubs

The Chicago Cubs are back after taking the day off on Monday! They will visit the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday as they get back into Cactus League action. 

Chicago is coming off of a 5-2 win over the San Diego Padres on Sunday. Justin Steele started for the Cubs but felt like he was "moving under water for most of the day." He issued five walks but only allowed one run in his 3.0 innings of work.

The other highlight of the day was a Yan Gomes solo home run which tied the game up at 1-1 in the fourth inning. 

The Cubs will look to build off of that performance on Sunday against the Royals.

Tuesday night's game is a late one with first pitch scheduled for 8:05 p.m. CT with Jameson Taillon scheduled to take the mound. 

The game will be televised in the local Chicago market on the Marquee Sports Network. It will also be streamed live on MLB.tv for those who reside outside the market.
