CHICAGO (Interstat) — The Minnesota Twins and Chicago Cubs close their three-game series Sunday afternoon at Wrigley Field, with the Cubs aiming for a second straight win after a 6-2 victory Saturday.

The game is expected to start under hot, humid conditions with temperatures around 86 degrees and a forecast of rain, which could cause delays. The Cubs (55-43) are 6 games over .500 and hold a strong position in the National League Central. The Twins (49-50) are struggling to reach the .500 mark.

Possible starters for Minnesota are right-hander Zebby Matthews (4-6) or left-hander Shota Imanaga (6-8). The Cubs are expected to counter with left-hander Matthew Boyd (5-0 in his last five starts), who allowed 3 hits and 1 earned run over 6 innings while striking out 4 in Saturday’s win over the Twins.

Kody Clemens has been a bright spot for the Twins recently. In Saturday’s loss, Clemens went 2 for 4 with 2 home runs and 2 RBI. He is batting .300 over his last 10 games but has had inconsistent production, including an 0-for-4 performance in the series opener Friday and recent series against the Los Angeles Angels and Cleveland Guardians.

For the Cubs, Boyd has been red-hot, allowing just 1 earned run over his last 12 innings with 11 strikeouts. He has held opponents to a .197 batting average during that stretch. Pedro Ramírez, who drove in 2 runs Saturday, and reliever Trent Thornton have also been productive.

The series is tied 1-1 after the Twins won 5-2 on Friday. Saturday’s game featured strong relief outings from Minnesota’s Mike Paredes (2 innings, 1 earned run, 4 strikeouts) and Kendry Rojas (1 inning, 0 runs), but the offense could not overcome an early deficit.

The Interstat game simulator projects a 7-5 Twins victory, though Minnesota will need to overcome a Cubs team that has won 8 of its last 10 games at home.

Both teams have busy weeks ahead. Minnesota travels to Cleveland for four games starting Monday, then returns home to host the Athletics and Kansas City Royals. The Cubs open a three-game series against the Detroit Tigers on Monday, followed by a trip to Pittsburgh and a four-game set in St. Louis.

First pitch is scheduled for 1:20 p.m. CDT, weather permitting.
