The world famous Wrigley Field will be home to a Thursday afternoon game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Chicago Cubs. The Diamondbacks will send Mike Bolsinger to the mound for the start, while the Cubs will turn to Edwin Jackson.

Bolsinger, a 26-year-old rookie from McKinney, Texas, will be making the 3rd appearance of his career and the second start. In his 2 appearances this season, he has allowed 8 earned runs on 13 hits and 3 walks with 8 strikeouts in 7 innings. With a 0-1 record and a 10.29 ERA, Bolsinger will look to turn his fortunes around against the Chicago lineup led by Mike Olt, Emilio Bonifacio and Anthony Rizzo.

The Cubs will start the veteran right hander to oppose Bolsinger. Jackson is 1-1 this season with a 5.40 ERA in 2 starts. He hasn’t had his best stuff this season, allowing 13 earned runs on 27 hits and 13 walks with 19 strikeouts in 21 2/3 innings. In his career against the current roster of Arizona players, he has had some success and some struggles. Miguel Montero is 4-for-9 in his career against him, as is Paul Goldschmidt. Aaron Hill has just a .205 average against him, but does have the only 2 home runs of any Arizona player against him.
