UNDER THE LIGHTS: This will be the 30th time that the Cubs have played back-to-back night games this year. They have played as many as five in a row. The Cubs are 19-10 in the second game of the previous pairs, including 10-3 after having lost the first game. (Courtesy BCB’s JohnW53)

Cantillo made eight starts for the Guardians last year but did not face the Cubs. He made 21 relief appearances for them this year before being sent down about a month ago. His max pitch count in those 21 appearances was 55, back in April, and in four starts at Columbus his max pitch count was 62. So he’s likely on a pitch limit tonight.
