Game 2 of NLDS: Cubs vs Brewers, First Pitch at 8:08 p.m.
Shota Imanaga, who went 15-3 with a 2.91 ERA last season, will start Game 2 to help the Cubs try to even the National League Division Series against the Brewers.
- On Monday, left-hander Shota Imanaga will start Game 2 at 8:08 p.m. at American Family Field, Cubs manager Craig Counsell announced Sunday.
- Facing a 1-0 series deficit, Chicago turned to Shota Imanaga to try to even the best-of-five; he has big-game experience from Japan and the 2023 World Baseball Classic but Monday is his first MLB postseason start.
- Statistically, Shota Imanaga has a mixed record against Milwaukee, going 1-2 with a 3.57 ERA in three regular-season starts, allowing seven runs and 12 hits in 17 2/3 innings and surrendering three homers.
- A Game 2 loss would leave the Chicago Cubs no margin for error in the best-of-five NLDS, while Pat Murphy said Milwaukee will use Aaron Ashby as an opener without naming a traditional starter.
- The series shifts to Wrigley Field for Game 3 at 4:08 p.m. on Wednesday, and Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio left Monday’s game with a right hamstring injury after going 3-for-3; his MRI was described as inconclusive.
