The Chicago Cubs heads across Lake Michigan to take on the Detroit Tigers. The Chicago Cubs escaped being swept by their crosstown rivals the White Sox with a 2-1 win Sunday. Again, the Cubs bats were pretty silent but received a great pitching effort from Yu Darvish. The Cubs will turn to Alec Mills for today's start. On the season, he is 2-2 with a 4.76 ERA and 16 strikeouts this season.

The Detroit Tigers come into this game against the Cubs off a 7-4 win over Cleveland. The Tigers will turn to Casey Mize for today's start. This will be the second start of his career. He is 0-0 with a 6.23 ERA and 7 strikeouts this season.

Chicago has been in a slump and is 3-7 in their last 10 games overall. Detroit is 2-12 in their last 14 interleague home games and 17-61 in their last 78 home games. The Cubs are 7-2 on the road on the year. Mills has not been sharp his last two starts but Mize was hit hard in his debut against the White Sox. The Cubs got a much-needed win Sunday and will use that momentum to get a win today.

Play on Chicago.
