Chicago Cubs Lineup: Hammel Seeks Series Win; Almora in CF

Jason Hammel (7-2, 2.36 ERA) has been fantastic so far this year for the Chicago Cubs (44-19). He will be looking to shut the door on the Nationals and lead the Cubs to the series win in the rubber match tonight.

Albert Almora is starting in center field, his natural position, giving Dexter Fowler a much-needed day off. The lineup also includes Javier Baez at third base while Kris Bryant mans left field. This is an exciting, young line-up and could be the line-up of the future for the Cubs.
