KEY GAME INFORMATION
CHICAGO CUBS: Expectations are soaring after the Cubs broke out in a huge way last season and fueled hope that their first championship since 1908 is within reach. The optimism has only escalated since the final out of Game 4 in the NLCS. That's because the Cubs added to a team that already included the NL Cy Young Award winner (Arrieta), Rookie of the Year (Kris Bryant) and Manager of the Year (Maddon), not to mention a two-time All-Star in Anthony Rizzo and another slugger in Schwarber who made a big impact as a rookie. They signed Jaosn Heyward ($184 million, eight years) and John Lackey ($32 million, two years) away from division-rival St. Louis, along with two-time All-Star Ben Zobrist ($56 million, four years) from Kansas City, and acquired Adam Warren from the Yankees in the Castro deal. They pulled off another big move when they re-signed Dexter Fowler to a $13 million, one-year contract in late February. That allowed them to keep three-time Gold Glove winner Heyward in right field rather than move him to center. For all the moves the Cubs made, they did not have to part with any of their prized prospects. That gives them depth and flexibility to make trades down the line.
CINCINNATI: The Reds launched into a major rebuilding movement after the All-Star Game at Great American Ball Park in July, trading Cueto, Leake and left fielder Marlon Byrd during the season. They dealt Todd Frazier and Chapman in the offseason, and tried to get deals for Brandon Phillips and Jay Bruce. They lost 98 games with a proven closer and Cueto and Leake for half the year. It'll be another season of immense growing pains with young players. The 98 losses last year tied for third-most in the history of baseball's first professional franchise. The Reds lost 99 games in 1934 and a club- record 101 in 1982.
PREVIEW
Cubs-Reds preview
 

CINCINNATI -- Amid all the history made by Kris Bryant on Monday night, the most important thing to happen for the Chicago Cubs is that they got a victory.

Bryant became the first player in major league history to hit three home runs and have two doubles in a game. He also went 5-for-5, set career highs in hits and RBIs and played three different positions.

But manager Joe Maddon's club still needed to hang on for an 11-8 win in the opener of a three-game series in Cincinnati, a game in which ace Jake Arrieta struggled.

But a win is a win, especially after a disappointing series in Miami in which they lost three of four. Despite losing six of their last eight, the Cubs still own a 9 1/2-game lead in the National League Central.

On Tuesday, the Cubs will try to win two in a row for the first time since June 18.

"We haven't been playing the best baseball," Bryant said. "But tonight was a good game to win and we'll try to build off that."

The Reds dominated the Cubs for several seasons during their rebuild. But the tide has turned the past two seasons. Chicago has won the last three series against the Reds and nine of the past 10.

The Cubs have won seven of eight against the Reds this season. Chicago won last season's series 13-6, snapping a streak of five straight won by Cincinnati.

Jon Lester takes the mound for the Cubs on Tuesday, making his sixth career start against Cincinnati. He's 2-0 with a 3.38 ERA in his career against the Reds.

Lester will be challenged, though, by manager Bryan Price's club, which likes to run, especially center fielder Billy Hamilton, who had 19 stolen bases this season.

Lester has 13 quality starts, third best in baseball. He has allowed one earned run or fewer in 10 of his starts.

Left-hander Jon Lamb will make his 11th start of the season and second against the Cubs. He last faced Chicago last Oct. 1 last season, allowing five earned runs in 4 2/3 innings of a 5-3 loss.

Lamb was among a trio of left-handers acquired from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for Johnny Cueto last July. He began the season on the disabled list after back surgery.

Cincinnati's pitching staff is beginning to get healthy with the return of Lamb, right-hander Anthony DeSclafani, who worked eight shutout innings on Sunday, and promising bullpen arms Raisel Iglesias and Michael Lorenzen.

Veteran Homer Bailey made his first rehab start for Triple-A Louisville and is targeted for a late July return, barring setbacks.

The Cubs are looking to get healthy as well. Leadoff batter Dexter Fowler is on track to come off the disabled list when eligible July 5, according to Maddon.

Jorge Soler took practice on Monday at Great American Ball Park and the reports were positive. He'll need a minor-league rehab appearance before returning, however.

Despite the Cubs being a bit banged up, Price is fully aware of Chicago's success against his club heading into Tuesday.

"For a game where we had eight hits and six walks and eight runs, that's usually enough to win," Price said after Monday's game. "The Cubs had their hitting shoes on tonight. They're real happy and comfortable against our staff right now."
