Cubs Aim for Sweep vs Nationals | MLB News

The Cubs aim for a sweep against the Nationals as they look to capitalize on their strong first two wins, with rookie Pedro Ramírez stepping in at second base while Nico Hoerner rests. Alex Bregman returns to cleanup after a monster week, including a three-homer game, while Kevin Gausman takes the mound hoping to build on his solid debut. Facing him is Cade Cavalli, whose sharp breaking stuff and fastball could challenge the Cubs’ lineup — but with Washington’s offense scoring runs and their pitching struggling, the key will be whether Gausman can keep pace with a potent Cubs attack.
