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.
ST LOUIS: The division-rival Cubs grabbed headlines by signing two former Cardinals, Jason Heyward and John Lackey. Chicago has a lot of young talent but so do the Cardinals. They've won the NL Central three straight seasons and been to the playoffs a franchise- best five consecutive years, including a World Series championship in 2011 and another Series appearance in 2013. In the outfield, Stephen Piscotty, Randal Grichuk, Holliday and Tommy Pham are all capable of hitting 20 homers. Yadier Molina is on track for opening day after recovering from a pair of thumb operations. There's an abundance of quality arms in the starting rotation even though St. Louis was outbid by Boston for David Price and lost Lance Lynn to reconstructive elbow surgery. Mike Leake could provide results similar to Lackey's, and is much younger. Jaime Garcia has an array of pitches and Carlos Martinez consistently throws in the high-90s (mph).
PREVIEW
Cubs-Cardinals Preview
 

Joe Maddon remains baseball's ultimate optimist and refuses to pander to those worrying about the Chicago Cubs' long-term success during their slump.

The latest defeat - a game the Cubs shouldn't have lost - has them enduring their first three-game losing streak and might give Maddon more reason to be concerned.

Jason Hammel gave the St. Louis Cardinals fits last month and will take the mound Tuesday night at Busch Stadium looking to help Chicago get back on track.

The Cubs (29-14) still have baseball's best record despite dropping six of eight, and part of Maddon's reason for maintaining positivity is that they've only been outscored by one run in that stretch.

Chicago has scored more than three runs only once during that span but held a two-run lead heading into the seventh of Monday's series opener. Pinch-hitter Matt Adam's tied it with a homer that inning before Randal Grichuk went deep in the bottom of the ninth to give St. Louis (24-21) a 4-3 victory.

"We knew there was going to be lows and we got hot at the beginning and now we've gotten cold the last couple of weeks," said Ben Zobrist, who had three hits and extended his streak of reaching base safely to 29 starts. "So we got to find the middle ground and get back to playing good baseball."

Hammel (5-1, 2.31 ERA) has been mostly solid but is coming off a rough outing Thursday. He gave up four runs, including a pair of homers, in six innings of a 5-3 loss to Milwaukee. He had allowed only one home run over his first seven starts combined.

"I felt pretty good," Hammel said. "Home runs on hanging sliders; hanging sliders leave the yard. That's about it."

The right-hander didn't have much trouble against St. Louis on April 19, allowing one run and striking out six in six innings of a 2-1 victory. Hammel is 2-0 with a 2.77 ERA in his last three regular-season starts against the Cardinals after posting a 6.57 mark in his first five against them.

Michael Wacha missed facing the Cubs in the first series at Busch Stadium last month, and it might be a good thing he did. Wacha is 0-3 with an 8.84 ERA in his last four outings in the rivalry, including allowing four runs in 4 1/3 innings of an 8-6 loss in Game 3 of last year's NLDS.

Wacha (2-4, 4.03) has been equally bad in his last three overall and posted a 7.71 ERA while lasting just four innings in each of his previous two. He gave up six runs - four were unearned - in a loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 13 before giving up six again and getting a no-decision in a 13-7 win over Colorado on Thursday.

"First couple innings, I felt good. I was hitting my spots, keeping the ball on the corner and down in the zone," Wacha said after his last outing. "Then that fourth inning got away from me a little bit with the leadoff walk and leaving balls over the plate."

Anthony Rizzo is hitting .455 with two homers in their regular-season matchups, and Kris Bryant and Jorge Soler also have gone deep off Wacha, who tries to help the Cardinals win for the fifth time in seven games.

St. Louis is averaging 6.4 runs over its last five.

"This is a team that can do damage in a hurry," manager Mike Matheny said. "That's something we haven't had in the past as much, the ability for quite a few guys in that lineup that feel good about getting the ball over the fence and create instant offense."
