Nationals visit Cubs with both teams eyeing playoffs | |
Two teams that have helped themselves in the National League playoff picture with impressive runs of late will take nearly identical records into a three-game showdown beginning Friday afternoon when the Washington Nationals visit the Chicago Cubs. The Nationals (70-57) won for the ninth time in their last 11 games at Pittsburgh on Thursday night, hours after the Cubs (69-58) completed a three-game home sweep of the San Francisco Giants. They will meet for the second time this season, with the Cubs having taken two of three at Washington in May. MORE | |
