The Chicago Cubs (1-2) are looking to get back on track as they travel to take on the Cincinnati Reds Monday night as they play the first of three on Monday night. 

The Cubs offense was anemic in their first series against the Milwaukee Brewers plating just 10 runs in three games. Their pitching was solid with Marcus Stroman headlining the rotation on Opening Day and pitching six shutout innings. 

Chicago will be looking to get something going at the plate, with their pitching largely in place, run creation will be the recipe for success moving forward. 

Monday night's game is slated to begin at 5:40 p.m. CT and Drew Smyly will start for the Cubs.

 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.
