On Sunday, the New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs will conclude their three-game series at Wrigley Field.
The Yankees won the first game by a score of 2-0.
They then dropped Saturday’s game by a score of 5-2.
Therefore, the winner on Sunday will take the series.
Zach Sweet of MLB.com wrote (on Saturday): “Final: Cubs 5, Yankees 2. Yankees get another good start, but squander it. Offensive lull continues. Other than Spencer Jones, who homers off a lefty for the second consecutive day. They’ll look to take the series tomorrow.”
